The Alice Temperley bride is a free spirit at heart. She wants relaxed separates for wedding-adjacent events and a party dress for dancing the night away at her reception. For the ceremony, she’s likely wearing a pretty beaded gown that’s sweet but not cloying—and certainly not stuffy or overworked. In a tightly edited collection of four dresses (plus one crop-top-and-skirt look), Temperley delivered on all of these desires for Fall 2020 Bridal.
The English Rose will gravitate towards the tiered ruffled midi dress embroidered with a botanical motif inspired by Poiret’s forest murals. Those looking to make a shining statement can do so in the duchess satin ball skirt and midriff-bearing top; bedecked in mother-of-pearl beads, crystals, and sequins, the ensemble wasn’t made with wallflowers in mind. While the more demure bride will find their match in the fluid crepe satin gown with full sleeves and a high neckline. It was elegant and a bit bohemian at the same time—what more could the Temperley bride ask for?
