Blue Bridalwear was established in 1991 by designer Angela Pitcher Dowdell and the gowns feature signature clean lines and uncluttered decorative details.

Faces are framed by cute Peter Pan or elegant roll collars; shoulders are covered with gorgeous Guipure Lace or delightfully embellished organza; hemlines sit prettily just below the knee or fall to the floor and into a train. Silhouettes are full or circular skirted, princess line or long and slim flaring from the knee; all flatter the waistline. The fabrics used include crisp Silk Zibelines and softer Silk Dupions contrasted with exquisitely embellished French Lace, crunchy Guipure Lace and sheer Silk Organza.

Blue Bridalwear’s designer Angela Pitcher Dowdell says, “I am so excited about this new collection and I am delighted to be launching it at The White Gallery. We had a fantastic show last year, The White Gallery attracts quality designers and buyers and I look forward to more of the same this year.”

The latest collection from Blue Bridalwear will be showing on the catwalk in the British Talents fashion show on Monday 21st May at 2pm, Battersea Park 20-22 May 2012.

This new, beautiful and modern collection is designed with the fashion conscious young lady in mind, yet manages to complement and reflect Nicki’s renowned flower girl range – now known as the Cygnet Collection. By using the same fabrics, colours and styling details, all encompassed in age-appropriate designs, she has ensured that both collections will lend a co-ordinated and sophisticated look to any bridal party.

The latest Nicki Macfarlane Collections are dripping with the most beautiful, delicate detailing, using the finest of fabrics. From satin bows at the shoulder to Peter Pan collars, ribbon waistbands and organza sashes, Nicki has successfully merged a variety of textures to give her dresses a unique, modern edge. In interpreting catwalk styles, including 1950s-inspired full-skirted dresses with nipped-in waists, she has ensured that even the most particular teenager will approve!

Lace continues to be the fabric of the moment and the 2013 Nicki Macfarlane Collection highlights why this is a fashion that every girl would love to wear, whatever her age. With a choice of delicate eyelet lace, cotton embroidered lace or even lace with added sparkle – there really is something for everyone.
This season features an exciting new palette of colours, including vibrant sunset, luscious lawn green and floral tones of wisteria and violet, each evoking the beauty of wonderful summer days.

Last year, Nicki was given the honour of creating the bridesmaid dresses for HRH The Duchess of Cambridge. As well as her ready to wear collection, Nicki also offers a bespoke service and offers appointments in either London or Wiltshire.
