The big, bold September issue has arrived; the largest edition of the year and one that always sets the tone for the season ahead. Inside, you’ll find the latest collections unveiled, exclusive behind-the-scenes insights from leading designers and a closer look at the future of British bridal fashion. We spotlight the names you need to know right now – from Hermione De Paula and Rita Coulson to Bon Bridé, Alan Hannah and beyond – as well as the three exceptional UK designers shortlisted for Bridal Buyer’s Rising Star Award.
This issue also shines a light on all things Bridal Week. Expect collection previews, expert trend insights and our top editor’s picks. We dive into what’s hot on the catwalk, the freshest bridal looks to watch, standout styles shaping bridesmaid dressing and even the growing world of prom.
And because no Awards season is complete without a peek behind the curtain, we introduce you to the remarkable judging panel tasked with scoring the 2025 Awards entries.
