Brides planning their big day in 2013 will have an opportunity to see wedding dress designs straight from the catwalk when they go along to the wedding fayres at Channings and The Howard in Edinburgh this weekend.
Black is the new white for those wishing to make a style statement as they walk down the aisle. Among the gowns on display by Edinburgh wedding dress specialist, Emma Roy, will be designs in grey on ivory and black silk taffeta decorated with roses and diamantes.
The gowns by Belgian Renbo Styling and Italian designer Enzoani are all priced around £1600.
