Shweshwe Bride

Choosing your wedding dress is already one of the most important (and emotional) fashion moments of your life. But what if your gown could tell a deeper story?
That’s exactly the idea behind Threads of Heritage, a new bridal design service from Bride & Co. Launched as part of the brand’s 20-year anniversary celebration, the service allows brides to personalise their gowns using heritage-inspired fabrics, beadwork and detailing that reflect their culture and personal history.

Add to that how quickly wedding trends shift year on year, and it’s easy to feel caught between staying true to your original vision and wondering if you’re missing something new.
