New Year, New Gowns!

Browns Bride are launching three new high-end fashion bridal brands in 2011: Vera Wang and Valentino this January and Delphine Manivet in February. Here's what to expect...

From Vera Wang, arguably one of the biggest international bridal labels, approximately 60 dresses will be stocked ranging from £4,000-£20,000.
Styles are perfect for the fashion-forward modern bride who despite being traditional, still wants a distinctly modern feel to her gown using chiffon, lace, organza and tulle, with sashes and modern takes on frills and bow details. Dresses have a romantic air whilst being distinctly 'Vera Wang' and include big ball gown styles as well as slinkier numbers. Dresses are made to order although the LUXE collection includes a few styles which will have custom waist-to-floor measurements.

From Valentino, three styles will be stocked. Two very slinky numbers and the other a strapless full-skirted gown. Dresses are made to order. This simple classic look is for a very sophisticated bride who loves a glamorous but understated style. From £3,500-£11,000.

From Parisian designer Delphine Manivet, it's all about the 'oh la la'! in her unique collection. Think boho-chic meets Ophelia from Midsummer Night's Dream - spot on for the contemporary bride. Using soft jersey and chiffon, cotton and French lace, styles ooze romance and sophistication. All of her dresses are entirely made to measure. Prices from £3,500-£5,500. Find out more at www.brownsfashion.com.
