Too often overlooked, bridal separates can give you more flexibility and freedom style-wise. And they’re also much more adaptable for future wear than a traditional gown.

If you think that bridal separates might be what you’re after, keep reading to learn more about what they are and why you might choose a set rather than a traditional gown.

Bridal Separates: Everything You Need to Know

What are Bridal Separates?

As the name suggests, “bridal separates” refers to a set of separate pieces that create a bridal outfit. Typically consisting of a top and skirt or pants, bridal separates allow brides-to-be maximum flexibility in choosing a wedding outfit that suits their style.

With the ability to mix and match tops and bottoms, you can create your dream outfit much more easily than trying to find a dress to tick all the boxes. While each separate is unique, all of our separates are designed to complement each other. Finding your dream outfit can be as easy as picking your favourite top, favourite bottom, and putting them together.

Why Choose Bridal Separates?

There are many reasons why you should consider bridal separates over a traditional dress, including:

• Budgeting

• Style

• Sustainability

• Versatility

Budgeting

Choosing bridal separates over a traditional wedding gown can help you find your dream outfit, without blowing your budget. If you understand what your “must-haves” are when it comes to the look and design, it is much easier to work within your budget to achieve those aspects without blowing the bank. By shopping for tops and bottoms separately, you can decide where you want to spend and where you want to save.

Style

How many times have you seen a dress that you like, but don’t love? Sometimes you may be drawn to certain aspects of a gown but — for some reason or another — aren’t sold on the whole piece.

With bridal separates, it’s much easier to pinpoint what exactly you do and don’t want. Separates allow flexibility, so you won’t have to commit to a dress that you only like half of. Brides-to-be too often find themselves settling for a dress that’s just okay, simply because they’re committed to the fit, cut, or detailing — without loving the whole piece.

With separates, you can ensure that you love all aspects of your outfit, without compromising.

Sustainability

We seek to change the narrative that bridal gowns are a one-and-done purchase. There is no reason why they should be worn once and never again. We think separates are a simple solution to the wasteful mentality that encompasses wedding outfits.

Because separates can be re-worn more easily than a gown can, you can easily add them to your formal wardrobe when the wedding is over. Instead of leaving your dress in a closet collecting dust, maybe even giving it away or throwing it out eventually, separates will give you much more wear.

We love hearing from customers who now cherish their separates, wearing them on special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries to add even more meaning to the garments.

In addition to being more wearable and less wasteful, we make sure to keep sustainability at the front of mind when designing our separates. Using repurposed fabrics, sustainable materials, and natural fibres, we make all of our pieces in Australia and on a made-to-order basis.
