If you’re gearing up to walk down the aisle this summer, chances are your diary is full with pre-wedding celebrations. Whether it’s engagement parties, bridal showers or hen parties, each occasion needs an outfit that’ll have you looking and feeling amazing as you countdown to your big day.
To make picking outfits even simpler, former Love Island star Molly Smith has unveiled a brand new bridal edit with high street retailer River Island. The range caters to every milestone on your wedding journey, featuring glamorous pieces for evenings out, beachy buys for hen parties abroad and even comfy tracksuits for those getting-ready moments on your wedding morning.

The entire collection channels a distinctly summery vibe, inspired by Molly’s romantic beachfront proposal in Dubai last year. Expect flowing fabrics, beautiful textures and, of course, a neutral colour palette of whites, creams and subtle beige tones to maintain that bridal feel.
Co-ordinated sets dominate the range, with one of our favourite pairings made up of the Cream Mirror Embroidered Jacket (£79) and the matching Cream Mirror Embroidered Hotpant Shorts (£59). This look is ideal for adding a touch of understated sparkle to your occasion, and works beautifully over swimwear for seaside sophistication, or paired with stilettos and a bold handbag for evening festivities.
For more relaxed daytime plans, the Cream Cotton Blend Lace Insert Jumpsuit (£66) fits the bill perfectly, striking an ideal harmony between casual, easy-going flair while maintaining an elegant and polished appearance.
Molly’s range also features staples including white denim shorts and jeans, sequin cami tops and crochet designs, alongside all the finishing touches you’ll need – from shell-themed necklaces to raffia clutch bags, sleek sunglasses and embellished flip flops in both flat and heeled varieties. With prices beginning at just £14 and the priciest piece reaching only £120, this is a great budget-friendly range to shop from – and given how costly wedding preparations can get, we’re all for any opportunity to keep costs down while keeping your fashion credentials.
The high street bridal market has been thriving in recent years, with an increasing number of brides seeking cost-effective alternatives for everything from hen do ensembles to their actual wedding gowns. Karen Millen’s bridal collection caters to every event, featuring standout bridal dresses, afterparty looks, and tailored pieces for pre-wedding occasions.
Meanwhile, Nobody’s Child’s bridal range is perfect for capturing that sophisticated-but-still-cool feel, with structured silhouettes, statement details and luxe-looking materials. For a more traditional, elegant approach, Phase Eight is renowned for its bridal offerings in classic designs, alongside plenty of choices for bridesmaids and mothers of the bride.
However, if Molly’s coastal summer bride vibe matches your upcoming wedding celebrations, you can shop her full range at River Island right now, reports the Mirror.
