Tell us a little about the Charlie Brear brand.

The Charlie Brear aesthetic is fashion-led, clean and contemporary with a feminine edge. It appeals to modern brides with a confident and unique sense of style. Because we have experience in both bridalwear and ready-to-wear, our bridal collections aren’t dictated by conventional wedding style – something that makes us unique in the market.

What’s the inspiration behind your first dress?

Nyika is a strong contemporary dress that stands alone or can be styled with different lace panels and an additional crepe train for a major statement. It really appeals to our fashion-forward brides.

Tell us why you selected option two?

The silk co-ords – Luna top and Lyra skirt – really sum up our styling expertise. They can be ordered fully lined as separates or as sheer pieces worn together. Alternatively they can be worn individually over a styling dress, such as our best-selling bias cut Payton.

And the third choice? What do you like about dress three?

This would have to be Carenne – a classic but striking, iconic bestseller which has been launched this year in a beautiful blush. It’s made from a crepe de chine silk that flatters all figures. It’s beautifully-cut simplicity.
