Meet the New Poirier Mini and Courthouse Edit: The Cool-Girl Guide to Modern Bridal

We’re calling it now: bridal separates and shorter looks are having a serious moment.

Not every bride wants a big, traditional gown; and why should you? Maybe you’re getting married at the town hall, planning an intimate city ceremony, looking for the perfect second look, or you simply want something that feels a little more fashion-forward.

Whatever your reason, our latest arrivals from Poirier have entered The Edit, and they’re giving us everything we love about modern bridal: cool, effortless, playful and completely you.

Think satin, halter necklines, mini dresses, pearls, gloves and pieces you can mix, match and make your own.

Basically, your excuse to break the bridal rules.

Say Hello to the Mini

Short wedding dresses are officially having their moment.

The Gem Mia Mini Dress is the perfect little ivory number for brides who want something fun, feminine and effortlessly chic. Think courthouse ceremony, city wedding, reception change or simply I want to dance all night without dragging a train behind me.

And if you love the Mia but can't quite give up the drama of a full-length look, the Mia Halter Maxi Dress gives you just that; with the option to add the Mia Pearl Overskirt when you're ready to turn things up a notch.

One look. Two moods. 

Two pieces? Absolutely.

If you’ve been scrolling Pinterest saving every cool-girl bridal outfit going, chances are you’ve already spotted the two-piece trend.

And we get it.

There’s something about a bridal co-ord that feels instantly modern. It gives you the freedom to choose your neckline, silhouette and finish; and, most importantly, create a look that feels like you.

The Poirier separates make mixing and matching ridiculously easy.

Pair the Lucia Split Skirt with the Lucia Strap Top for something sleek and simple, or switch to one of the Lucia Satin Waterfall Pearl Tops for a softer, draped look.

Want something with a little more detail? The Gisele Pearl Top brings the pearls without taking things too traditional.

And if clean and minimal is more your thing, the Lucia Satin Waterfall Top Plain lets that gorgeous satin do all the talking.

The courthouse bride called…

…and she wants her outfit back.

There’s a reason courthouse bridal style has become such a thing. It’s effortlessly cool, incredibly chic and doesn't need a huge dress to make an impact.

Picture ivory satin, a sleek mini, statement gloves, a killer pair of shoes and your favourite jewellery.

Done.

Whether you're saying I do at the registry office, heading off for an intimate celebration or planning the ultimate second look, these pieces are made for brides who want something a little less traditional and a lot more them.

Don't Underestimate the Accessories

Because sometimes the outfit is only half the look.

Enter: the gloves.

Our Short Fingered Satin Gloves add the sweetest little vintage-inspired detail, while the Matte Satin Over-the-Elbow Gloves are for when you're ready to make more of a statement.

Pair them with the Mia Mini for that effortlessly cool bridal moment, or add them to one of the satin separates for a more editorial feel.

Pearls and gloves? We’re obsessed.

One outfit isn't enough anyway

The best thing about this edit?

You don't have to pick just one way to wear it.

Start with the Mia Maxi for your ceremony. Add the pearl overskirt for a little extra drama. Lose the overskirt for the evening.

Or go for the mini and keep things fun from start to finish.

Build your own two-piece. Add gloves. Change your shoes. Throw on a veil. Lose the veil. Add pearls.

There are no rules here.

Just really good bridal pieces.
