Premium high-street brand Whistles has announced the launch of its new wedding collection, which will be available in store and online, at the end of January 2018.

For many brides, the wedding day is all about the dress, but with the average cost of weddings now standing at £27,000 in the UK – and more than £38,000 in London – what a bride-to-be wants and what she can afford are often two very different things.

However, thanks to a new generation of savvy women who don’t want to blow their life savings on saying “I do”, bridal collections from some of the British high street’s top stores mean you can get the dress of your dreams without breaking the bank.

After the successful launch of its debut bridal range in February 2017, top high-street brand Whistles has announced that it will be launching an updated collection at the end of January – and it’s going to include three new styles.

All named after romantic heroines, the new dresses “Scarlett” (think Gone with the Wind), “Clementine” (“Oh my darling...”) and “Isla” (Casablanca) are each designed and crafted from the finest materials with refreshingly of-the-moment details.

Now with 10 styles in total – nine dresses and a Whistles signature jumpsuit – the collection offers something for everyone with a range of versatile silhouettes from the classic slip, to mid-length pleats, backless lace and modern ruffles.

Each piece is expertly crafted in luxurious silk and lace, organza jacquard and embroidered tulle, with internally boned bodices. So, while you might be cutting back on price, you’re by no means sacrificing quality.

The collection also includes four new exclusive bridesmaid styles to sit alongside the wedding dresses, which are offered in three colourways including a silk slip dress, an elegant tie-back maxi and a ruffle detail dress and jumpsuit.

The complete Whistles wedding collection will be available online and in store at Whistles’ London flagship store on St Christopher’s Place, with prices ranging from £499 to £649.

The brand will also launch in the Whistles Leeds store in February 2018, where customers can pre-book private bridal appointments for the bride and bridesmaids.
