To help you get started on your search for 'the one', we've matched the fresh-off-the-catwalk looks with a series of fashion personalities to ensure a very voguish coupling.
THE MODERN FASHIONISTA
Keywords: fresh, experimental, high drama
Celebrity style: Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Diane Kruger
The avant-garde movement continues to whip up a stylistic storm in wedding world, where brides are making an instant impact with some seriously modish dress confections.
The Modern Fashionista enjoys being both on and ahead of the curve, so that their look is as 'now' as it is next season. Showcasing the freshest trends while dressing with an individual twist, think lavish see-through skirts worn with customised couture (and an attitude), finished with your favourite heels or diamond jewellery.
The catwalks are awash with oversized bows, which are adorning gowns on the waist and the lower back, lending a vintage vibe while making an à la mode statement.
Then the flesh-baring fashion of lingerie as outerwear and sexy cut outs continues, along with convertible and modular gowns - including shoulder wraps, removable bows and detachable skirts and layers of tulle.

THE VINTAGE BRIDE
Keywords: elegant, traditional, glamorous
Celebrity style: Dita Von Teese, Adele, Eva Longoria
From a sense of old school glamour to a hint of retro geek, The Vintage Bride is both bygone and contemporary, fusing times and fashions to exquisite effect. A personalised process of reworking, recycling and mashing sees beautifully bespoke results with a modern vintage air.
Seeing something of a resurgence, high Victoriana style necklines are very much en vogue, this time round being combined with contemporary features such as sheer fabrics, satin, scalloped lace and bejewelled detail.
Simplicity is another element as styles are stripped back and minimalised, materialising into shirt-dresses and tailored trousers for feminine, fuss-free fashion.
And with toppers making an omnipresent outing, complete your outfit with a cape and capelet, bolero, poncho or even a bomber jacket - or splice some uber glam silver into the mix - for a finish that smacks of fabulousness.

THE BOHO BEAUTY
Keywords: free-spirited, beachy, ethereal
Celebrity style: Sienna Miller, Kate Bosworth, Vanessa Hudgens
Embrace the barefoot movement by donning one of The Boho Beauty's bevy of breathtaking bridal looks. For a more relaxed, natural feel, opt for softer, flowing fabrics and less-structured silhouettes while adding a single, standout feature with wow factor impact.
Lace - particularly tattoo effect on sheer fabrics - is one of the leading trends and can be worn head-to-toe, as more form-fitting panels, or features such as appliques or sleeves. Speaking of which, sheer streamer sleeves are all the rage for that breezy, Coachella-invoking vibe.
Pick pastel tones - especially something along the 'something blue' spectrum (think seafoam green or baby blue) - or off-the-shoulder styles including open necklines, strapless, cuffs and loosely tied bows for extra boho brilliance.

THE NOUVEAU ROMANTIC
Keywords: feminine, sophisticated, bold
Celebrity style: Kate Winslet, Thandie Newton, Natalie Portman
Covering a range of looks from classic to casual, The Nouveau Romantic embraces everything from modern florals and vintage couture to ready-to-wear fashions.
Whether you prefer a sense of high drama and fashion or are drawn to the subtler, softer side of the trend, the resounding note is one of romance - and your personal interpretation of it.
Elements include long trains or veils - or a striking combination of both - either embellished alongside a less dainty dress or barely there to accompany a voluminous ballgown or multi-layered mermaid.
Plunging necklines ooze sensuality and romance, as cleavage-flaunting cuts are fast overtaking open backs on the swoon-worthy scale.
Pantone's colours of the year (for the first time ever, it's an official coupling of colour!) Rose Quartz and Serenity are perfect for The Nouveau Romantic as is, in fact, any shade from the top-trending palette of pink, from soft blushes to eye-catching fuchsia and bold floral prints.
