EMMA JEAN BRIDAL

Non-Traditional Bridalwear

Welcome to my blog that documents the production of my 4th year fashion collection. The aim of my project is Non-Traditional Bridal wear that challenges the white wedding dress and explores the bridal aesthetic through colour and versatility

  • My goal is to create a commercial range of bridal wear with the intention that the outfits will have a life beyond the wedding day as well

  • I want to re-introduce colour into bridal wear to make the outfits more individualised, while incorporating some traditional bridal techniques like embellishment and embroidery
