This is not a drill: Zara has launched a bridal collection

Summer brides, I've got the news you've all (probably) been waiting for: Zara has finally launched a wedding collection.

It's a capsule line for now, though I imagine it'll be extended if it's successful, and why wouldn't it be? It includes two wedding dresses, lingerie and accessories, all ideal for canicular weddings.

In terms of the vibe, it's very much vintage-meets-Ibiza. Think silky, long lacy champagne silk where the dresses are concerned, lace and satin underwear and floral or gathered silk bridal headbands.

There's also a silk dressing gown should you wish to buy the full look. Prices start at just £17.99 for an embroidered thong or headband, and go up to £159 for the cap-sleeved dress and the nightgown, so you're really getting loads for your budget.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
