From the ultimate cool-girl and ex-Vogue editor Kelly Connor, who opted for an archival look for her wedding, to this groom, who wore a pink skirt for the cake cutting, Thom Browne is another designer who has long been breaking traditional gender rules of fashion. While his classic suiting options add a fun flair to any wedding, his more casual offerings are an unexpected option for the lead-up events to the big day.

Taylor Swift wore a rhinestone minidress by Clio Peppiatt for her birthday in 2023; a bag scrawled with “Til Death Do Us Part” from Peppiatt’s debut bridal collection has been a favorite of actress Julia Fox’s. While Clio Peppiatt has been known for cheeky after-party dresses and statement-making bridal bags complete with glitzy embellishments, her latest exclusive collection for Net-a-Porter consists of ceremony-ready gowns (and all the relevant accessories) in her signature beading.
