HOW TO INCORPORATE BOWS INTO YOUR WEDDING DAY
Bows are a forever wedding classic, but there is no doubt about it that they have become
THE key trend in 2024/2025 weddings.
Read below for beautiful bow inspiration, that you could incorporate into your own wedding day.
WEDDING GOWNS
Whether it be super large shoulder bows or skinny spaghetti straps, this is one of the most easiest ways to incorporate it into your day. If you are incorporating it elsewhere, like your reception styling, it’s always best to pare it back with your wedding gown and go small and skinny instead.

BRIDAL SHOES
Look to Loeffler & Randall for your inspiration, who’s 2024 collection outdoes it’s 2023 offerings when it comes to incorporating bows. But if you’re looking for something more simple, the classic ballet pump with satin ribbon ankle ties always creates a beautiful statement.

STATIONERY & RECEPTION TABLES
For stationery, consider elements that are shaped like bows for your invitations or perhaps think about incorporating them into your on the day stationery, such as on name tags, menus or hanging signage. Or why not go for bows wrapped around candle bases to give an elegant and feminine touch. Alternatively think about tying napkins or your cutlery with luxurious silk ribbon or delicately fine thin cord.

JEWELLERY & HAIR
Earrings or necklaces make a beautiful nod to the bow trend, remember to always choose one or the other, sometimes less is definitely more. Or perhaps consider bows incorporated in your hair design or as a statement alternative to a wedding veil.
