What would a wedding be without the perfect gown? We’ve made a selection of six gowns from our archives for all kinds of women – from the woman who loves the simple things in life, the glamorous girl who would not be caught dead in a simple white wedding gown, and of course the traditionalist at heart. Pick and choose the details you like from each gown and get your designer to incorporate them or you can simply visit the stores and get your favourite gown.

Mrs Simplicity 

Is classy and soft spoken. Her beauty is not obvious. You only notice her delicacy when you have lengthy conversations with her. Her sophistication comes from being simple.

We love the simplicity of these gowns. Wow your guests with the short dress, it is comfortable and you will not have to fuss over a train.

Gowns by: Pronovias

These gowns are safe, yet stunning. They’re perfect for Mrs Simplicity; anything more would make her feel uncomfortable.

Glamour
These gowns are for the glitz and glam women, who are not afraid to show a bit of leg. Mrs Glam is smitten with all things silk and lace.

Gowns by:  Biji-couture

These gowns speak volumes about the brides, they will tolerate nothing less that stylish.

Gowns by: Patricia Nascimento

For our glamour girls, this is where simplicity begins and ends. Yet the tiny details like the brochure on the mint dress draws your attention to the bust.

Mrs Traditional
She is rooted in her culture, she still goes home for the traditional ceremonies and the like. But she’s also a city slicker. You will find that she tries to incorporate both the Western and Eastern worlds. She is a traditionalist at heart.

Try these for something different.  They merge the traditional and Western worlds quite deliciously. We absolutely love the way Antherline Couture has mixed isishweshe with will lace and silk.

Gowns by: Sun Goddess

Who would have thought Umbhaco (traditional Xhosa attire) could be turned into stunning wedding gowns. We love what the designers have done with these dresses. The traditional Xhosa patterns, complemented by beads and buttons.
