Bernadette Antwerp is a wedding guest house whether it intends to be one: taffeta with body, bows, saturated colour, prints that photograph, and shapes that let you sit through a long lunch. The house itself describes the Lena as a striking choice for weddings and the Roxette as the ultimate wedding guest dress. Here is what to wear from the current stock, by kind of wedding, with the shoes and the brooch to finish it.

The church and the long lunch

1. Dress Dette in Rosebranches Red on Black, $1,610

Strapless, boned, full-skirted, Rosebranches red on black. It photographs, it sits, and with a man’s black coat over it for the ceremony it is the most Bernadette answer there is.

2. Dress Ezra in Hydrangea Green on Black, $1,390

The midi that does every wedding: hydrangea green on black, fitted waist, sleeves. Size up if you sit between sizes.

3. Midi Dress Rosette in Plum, $1,390

Plum taffeta with a bustier and three rosettes at the front. Quiet colour, formal shape.

The evening wedding

4. Dress Roxette in Rosebranches Red on Black, $2,060

The house calls it the ultimate wedding guest dress: Rosebranches on a fluid silk-blend cloth, balloon sleeves, fully lined.

5. Dress Julie in Black Velvet, $2,390

Black velvet to the floor with bow-tied straps and tonal embroidery. For a black-tie wedding where the bride has said no colour.

6. Dress Lena Embroidered in Soft Pink Bouquet Embroidery on Black, $3,040

The collector’s piece: soft pink bouquets with pearls embroidered on black, boned bustier, floor-length. Wear it once a year and it will still be the dress people remember.

The summer and destination wedding

7. Short Dress Will in Icy Pink, $1,150

Icy pink taffeta, short, a bow at the back, sleeves. The daytime wedding dress that works in heat.

8. Dress Maya in Lingerie Roses Red on Pink, $1,440

Lingerie Roses red on pink to the floor, light and printed.

9. Dress Roxette in Foxglove Pink, $2,060

Foxglove on pink velvet, for a cool-weather garden wedding.

The mother of the bride

10. Dress George in Dark Lime, $1,570

The house gown in dark lime taffeta, a V neck, volume through the sleeve. The house says it fits most sizes. Add the black Wild Rose brooch and nothing else.

11. Dress Lina in Morning Mist and Mocha, $1,390

A mocha bustier column with a mint bow. Formal, unusual, and not a print.

Shoes, bag, brooch

The house makes the shoe: the Classic Lacquered Pump in Grey under anything printed, the Classic Satin Pump in Lime under taupe, black and plum. The Round Bag Embroidered in Black Lingerie Rose Embroidery on Black holds a phone, a card case and lipstick and its tonal embroidery goes with every dress above. A brooch replaces the necklace: the Romantic Rose Brooch in Icy Pink on the Will, the Wild Rose Brooch in Black on the George. One piece of ornament, never two.

What not to do

Do not wear a printed shoe with a printed dress. Do not wear white, cream, ivory: the Everett tops/shirt/" class="cvx-al cvx-al--category">shirts and the cream brooch are for other days. Do not add a second bow. And check the dress code against the length: the Dette and the Ezra are midi, the Roxette, Lena, Julie, George and Lina are floor-length.

“I treasure all of our robes. It’s the piece of clothing that I have always wanted,” Charlotte de Geyter told Liberty London. Her mother chose “all of our floral dresses. It’s impossible for me to choose. I can honestly say that my closet is only filled with BERNADETTE at the moment.”
