I couldn't help but be inspired by these bridal gowns I saw
recently, they offer simplicity and elegance rolled into one.
I’ll admit these gowns are most suited to destination weddings, but the refined
details could easily be plucked and used to adorn a dress more
suited to a wedding at home. Namely the
embroidery on the Catherine Deane gown, which is beautifully done, yet the elegant bows from the back of
the Roberto Rodriguez gown wouldn’t look out of place either. (Could these be the replacement for the popular button detailing?)
The Thread gown also offers inspiration. With an increase in the number of my brides
looking for two dresses for their wedding day (one for the ceremony, one for
the evening reception) the idea of having a dramatic floor length skirt for the
ceremony, which can then be removed to reveal a slick cut, shorter style for
dancing in the evening, is starting to make perfect sense.
Then there’s the Calvin Klein gown, simplicity at its best. Offering
inspiration with its graceful silhouette, I can see this becoming a favourite
with brides wanting understated elegance for their big day.
