Maternity bridal wear on the increase: mums-to-be not letting baby bumps get in the way of walking down the isle

For decades it was one of society’s biggest taboos: the bride with the baby bump having a shotgun wedding.

Pregnant brides are on the rise...

In 2009, an estimated 20,000 brides in Britain were pregnant on their wedding day, accounting for 10 per cent of all first-time brides under the age of 45. Celebrities who have openly embraced this in recent times have included Lily Allen,  and others include Jennifer Garner and Gwyneth Paltrow.
