If you’re getting married, if your daughter/sister/friend is, or if you’re Meghan Markle (hi Meg!), we have some very exciting news. The Black Swan Bridal Studio in Wallingford is hosting a trunk show (basically a preview event featuring lots of gorgeous gowns) of Temperley’s 2018 bridal collection.

Not familiar with Temperley’s wedding line? As you can see from the pics above, the London brand makes ridiculously dreamy dresses, with a ethereal, bohemian feel, often involving lashings of lace and embellishment. They’re a million miles from the bog-standard strapless white meringue. And respect to Black Swan – its the only place outside London that you’ll find this season’s collection. FACT!

Muddy’s associate editor Kerry got married in Temperley (and trust me, that girl knows her fashion onions) –  a cream beaded halterneck column dress with a retro-style lace vintage cape (*sigh*) was the perfect match for her rustic-luxe barn wedding.  We’d highly recommend you go see the gowns in the flesh and have a touch, play and try-on – you’ll swoon, we promise.
