One of Kate Middleton's favourite fashion brands, L.K.Bennett, has launched a gorgeous bridalwear collection today, and you're going to want to own every single piece, wedding or no wedding (white dresses for summer? Yes please).

The capsule is part of the high street brand's spring/summer 22 collection, and comprises four wedding dresses, shoes and accessories including bags and jewellery.

Although there are only four styles of gowns, they should pretty much cover you for any scenario, whether it's for a pre-wedding party, a church wedding, town hall ceremony or destination wedding.

Our Contributing Fashion Editor and bride-to-be Sarah-Rose Harrison popped into the labels Brook Street store to try out each look...

You have the Colette dress, a slinky 20s-inspired sleeveless silk dress, the Lila, an ankle-length lace gown with cinched waist and puff sleeves, the Lovette, a 70s style high neck embroidered dress and the Harlow, a minimal button-up satin style.

A range of pearl, feather, satin, bejewelled and metallic accessories complement the looks effortlessly.

Although the Duchess of Cambridge of course got married in a custom Alexander McQueen dress, she has worn L.K.Bennett during official engagements for years, and is particularly fond of the brand's dresses and shoes.

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.
