Temperley Bridal

 

 

IRIS 2014/15

The Temperley Bridal Iris Collection, the largest to date from Temperley Bridal, introduces new styles and shapes – all in silhouettes that celebrate the female form. The result is a collection of dresses designed for memories to be made in.

Iris introduces 14 new wedding looks, all characterised by meticulous craftsmanship, fine hand embroidery, beautiful beadwork and delicate laces. In addition to a wide range of gowns, Iris introduces new categories for Temperley Bridal including a full A-line skirt, bridal kaftan, a jumpsuit as well as short, voluminous styles.

New shapes and categories include the Nepheli jumpsuit – an elegant, 70s inspired, silk crepe halter neck jumpsuit with wide leg, fitted bodice and low back, the short sleeved duchess satin Aralia evening swing coat with crystal and metallic stitch work that works back with the spectacular Aralia Show Dress – a strapless silk organza dress with fitted corset and full skirt. The Rose Evening Coat – a voluminous evening swing coat covered with ruffled silk organza roses and petals is impactful with the Rose Skirt from the same story – a unique A-line knee length skirt.

Embellishments throughout the collection are intricate with hand-applied crystals, stitched embroidery and hand folded flower detailing.

Temperley Bridal also offers a selection of accessories; Iris introduces five new veil designs that accompany accessories from the classic Temperley Bridal collection; delicate lace shrugs and in-house designed collection of headpieces, combs and embellished sashes.

Bridal is a highly romanticised version of Temperley mainline – and an area of design I thoroughly enjoy. There is a full range of different styles, for different body shapes in Iris, all designed with the aesthetic I believe in; elegant, feminine, ethereal and timeless. Each dress has to be the perfect blend of functionality and fantasy - a bride must never feel overwhelmed by her dress but allow them to be the ultimate version of themselves, making the bride look effortless and elegant. Your bridal dress exists in a moment in time and is made for the woman wearing it not the trend of the moment. Alice Temperley, MBE
