With the average price of a UK wedding coming it at a huge £24,000, anything that saves money on their big day must be music to a bride's ears. Now H&M is coming to the rescue with a line of bridal gowns that aren't only affordable but also stunning.H&M bridal is priced between £149.99 and £399, and will be available from 7 April. According to reports the dresses were inspired by art museum the Louvre in Paris, and the campaign features Julia Restoin Roitfeld, daughter of former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld.
H&M has launched its first bridal collection
The collection includes a 70s inspired dress with intricate lace detailing, with a very similar two piece available for more daring brides, a gorgeous bohemian piece embellished with gold beads. One of the lowest priced gowns has a sweetheart neckline and a detailed printed design, which gives the effect of flowing fabric.
But, as if being modestly priced and beautifully designed wasn't enough, the dresses are also sustainable and eco-friendly. According to H&M, each of the gowns is made using ethical materials, including raw silk and beads made from recycled glass.
