Of Robes, Ribbons and Ruffled Reveals: Dressing the Bride Before the Dress

Dearest Reader,

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a bride in possession of a gown must still be in want of… a robe.

Indeed, before the satin buttons are fastened, before the veil floats just so, there lies a quiet, precious moment: the bridal getting ready. And if one is to be photographed whilst sipping bubbly and dabbing at happy tears - then one must be dressed accordingly.

A bridal robe is no mere practicality - it is a declaration. A whisper of luxury. A swish of satin before the spotlight. And, if chosen wisely, a keepsake most divine.

The Making of a Morning Look
Opt for robes that reflect your palette or personality - think soft blush, crisp white, dreamy sage or even daring black. Lace trims and flutter sleeves are positively swoon-worthy, but never underestimate the charm of a personalised touch: names, dates, or a cheeky phrase printed just so.

For the Bridesmaids, Too
One must not outshine the bride (perish the thought), but matching robes for your closest companions make for the most darling group portraits - and double as a thoughtful gift. Let theirs coordinate, not compete.

Consider the Moment
Will there be little feet scurrying about? A flower girl clutching your hem? Add matching sets for her and perhaps a custom robe for Mum - it turns the preparation into a memory in its own right.

From Robes to Reality
And then, my dear, the robe is hung, the dress is donned, and you step into forever - but oh, what a way to begin.

So choose something beautiful for your morning. You deserve to be wrapped in loveliness long before the aisle.

With love (and a hint of satin),
Lady Belle
