We take a look at how you can infuse your big day with a bit of Brat Girl Summer from smudgy smoky eyes to knee-high wedding boots and messy hair ensuring your big day is on trend and legendary!
A Brat Summer
With an infamous lime green cover and grungy beats that you’d normally hear in the deep dark depths of a sweaty club Charlie XCX’s new album Brat has swept the nation and along with it has created an aesthetic that’s not for the fainthearted. Forget the 2023s polished Barbicore trend because it’s all about the messier the better! A Brat Summer makes way for the messy, scatty and slightly unhinged IT girl who’s all about living life to the max, and we’re here for it! It’s unpolished, feral and ready to party and it’s only going to get bigger!
Now we’re not saying turn up to your wedding looking like you’re doing the “walk of shame” (unless you want to, or are of course) this trend is all about throwing away traditions, having some fun and being you! If you’re already loving the freedom that the Brat Summer trend is giving you then why not create your wedding day around it? We take a look at the top essentials of what you’ll need to create and live your best life in the process!
