Bridal Couture Shows are one of our absolutely-not-to-be-missed-must-sees of the season. From the luxe details to the stunning fabrics and breathtaking silhouettes, they are full of gorgeous inspiration. They are also the perfect source of inspiration for your wedding day.
Here are a few ideas that have us swooning…
ADD ANOTHER DIMENSION
Whether it’s the flowers along Angel Sanchez’s latest looks or the butterflies from Jim Hjelm’s past, 3-D details continue to appear. To incorporate this couture element into your wedding day ensemble, consider a chic bolero with gorgeous accents that stylishly grace the fabric. An array of colors and designs ensures that you will find the perfect piece to complete your look.
INCORPORATE A CAPE
Gwyneth Paltrow debuted this look from Tom Ford during the 2012 Oscars and it became an instant classic. We’ve also seen real brides as well as the models from Romona Keveza’s Spring 2017 Collection and Pronovias’s Fall 2016 Collection don a cape for their walk down the aisle and runway.
Really want to make a statement? Consider an ethereal cape that extends into a chapel-length train…
VARY YOUR DRESS LENGTH
A detachable overskirt can update your look with a runway-worthy flair. The versatility of this look allows you to effortlessly transition from your walk down the aisle to your twirl around the dance floor. Monique Lhuillier, Galia Lahav and Oscar de la Renta all incorporated overskirts into their Spring 2017 designs.
