We have been in love with Aspen by Jenny Packham since the launch of the 2012 collection. With its nipped-in waist, flattering pleats and sexy lace sleeves it is the perfect gown for a glamorous wedding. At £2875 though, we understand that only a handful of brides will be able to afford it.
Imagine our delight as we searched through the new autumn styles by Victoria Jane, part of the Ronald Joyce label, and found this Imola dress with the same flattering cut and intricate detail for less than half the price!

Blow the wedding budget and buy the beautiful Jenny Packham gown from Poppy Bridal in Darlington, or be a spend savvy bride and try the Victoria Jane dress at Exclusively Yours in Wingate, Wild Brides in Sunderland and House of Bellas in Newcastle.
