As soon as a couple announces they are engaged, everyone wants to hear about the dress. Yet these days more and more brides are shunning the traditional form of a big white dress and walking down the aisle in bridal suits. Boris Becker’s wife Sharlely Kerssenberg wore a stylish white tuxedo suit for her wedding to the German tennis player and looked sensational. The loose fitting trousers looked highly stylish and teamed with gold peeptoe platforms she added a feminine touch.
The bridal suit is perfect for brides who hate the thought of a dress. If you don’t own a dress or skirt in your wardrobe, why should you go out and spend hundreds, of not thousands, of pounds on a dress for just one day? When you marry, you want to look and feel like yourself so buck the trend and be the girl who wears the trousers.

Telling friends that they were just going on holiday, the two jetted off to the luxury Labriz Silhouette resort in the Seychelles where they secretly married in front of a select few guests.
