Wedding Dresses For The Modern Bride // Shona Joy’s Wedding Edit

To flood you with ideas on the wedding dress front, we’re delighted to share Shona Joy’s new bridal edit below, where you’ll find a contemporary yet classic collection of styles for both brides and bridesmaids set at a very attractive price point.

This Australian-based clothing brand is known for its feminine chic vibe with a sexy, playful flare. Personally? We’ve been big fans of Shona Joy for eons – one of our founders dressed her bridesmaids in her designs. So seeing the brand continue their venture into the bride-space with a line of modern, non-traditional garments (think: not all dresses) is floating our boat very, very much.

Before we jump into it, here are a bunch of tips to consider when choosing a wedding outfit that’s right for you:

• Consider checking out non-bridal boutiques that specialise in occasion-wear (like Shona Joy) that offer stylish designs, without the price tag.
• Choose the style that you feel most comfortable in and that shows off your personality too. You can look and feel amazing without spending a small fortune.
• If you’re shopping online, investigate further into the brand’s social media (stalk their branded hashtags and tagged snaps) or other online stockists to see the garment modelled on other figures.
• Ignore traditional expectations or ‘rules’ – wear what you like, and what feels good. This might be a top and skirt combo, or a tuxedo pant.
• Consider the location of your wedding, the season (more specifically, the temperature) and theme.

Whether you’re the bride to be, a bride in need of a hen’s party dress or a guest of an upcoming wedding, there’s a tonne of options on Shona Joy to consider for this wedding season. Scroll on to see what we’re talking about.
