Returning once again to White Gallery is renowned designer Alan Hannah, who will launch brand his new collection on the catwalk. Designer Marguerite has created beautifully light pieces that feature a subtle touch of luxurious embellishment. Chiffon and organza are the key fabrics providing a flowing and romantic feel to the exquisite new pieces. Colour will feature strongly once again, with pastels plus gold and silver brocades and damasks.

Welsh designer Stephanie Allin is another of the white hot names that will join the unrivalled line-up.

Look out for beautiful fabrics highlighted with intricate embellishment, hints of coloured appliqués and unusual jacquard prints.

Meanwhile, Eliza Jane Howell’s new 2017 collection features new designs that radiate with the label’s signature style. Think dramatic pieces with plunging backs and higher necklines that show just enough flesh to tease the groom. All colours in the collection will be opulent, but there will be a softer more romantic side too.

Another British favourite, Charlotte Balbier, will present her new Bridal Separates Collection, which features ten inter-changeable separates all designed for the bride to build and create her own individual look.  Styles include Tempest, Harper, Sloane, Rebel, Flynn, Hero, Cecily, Cosima, Langley and Fawn and feature everything from a satin slip with a lace topper and satin sash to a ball gown skirt, crop top and lace reverse bolero.

Unveiling a collection that marries fresh styles and timeless shapes, Catherine Deane will present her latest bridal collection at Battersea. The range is perfectly harmonised with a heady mix of textured floral lace, dreamy silk chiffons, and soft tulle skirts. All of the elements combine to create one-of-a-kind pieces that enrich women with a sense of femininity and uniqueness. Reaching out to the modern bride with a creative mind, the collection is inspired by individuality and imagination.  Figure forming silhouettes sit alongside romantic and soft overlays, redefining the standards by effortlessly taking the bride from day to night, from formal days to evening soirees.
