Wedding Wednesday: Wow Wedding Gowns

{ Via: ZsaZsa Bellagio }

My motto is that life is too short to not wear a "wow" gown. It's your special day. Why not make a statement?  This season and going forward in 2019, designers went for it, and have showcased unapologetic strong silhouettes. Vera Wang did an entire season in color.  Newcomer Danielle Frankel, designed fabulous fashion forward frocks, and Claire Pettibone did Boho chic like none other. Every design in this edit made me say "wow." Let's see if you do, too.

 
HERE: 10 Bridal Wows

Yolan Cris 
You see this designer's gowns on the red carpets often. They always stand out to me. I mean you don't often see a bride wearing a cape and a scarf! This is bridal haute couture, 
for sure.
Yolin Chris

Danielle Frankel Spring 2019
Pleats please! And those sleeves.....fabulous. I also always think that a long sleeve on a wedding gown adds a certain elegant touch.
Danielle Frankel

Atelier Pronovios Spring 2019
The Carina is both sexy and glam at the same time. The wow factor comes from the sleeve veiling! Now that's unique. Again, the long sleeves make a statement. 
Pronovios

Vera Wang
Blush and nude ball gown with a multi layered tulle skirt. I probably could do without the giant bougainvillea, but that is part of the 
wow factor.
Vera Wang

Francesca Miranda Alina
Spring 2019 for the modern bride. High-low hand embroidered tulle skirt, over crepé ‘skinny’ pants. Fun!
Francesca Miranda

Costarellos Fall 2018
The Greek designer's coveted aesthetic is marked by Goddess-like silhouettes and his signature intricate lacework. The sleeves above are just dreamy. See this style HERE. Shop a trunk show of Costarellos classics at 
Moda Operandi 

Temperley London Toledo Dress
Soft and ethereal, with exquisite and intricately placed embroidery in a rich color palette, which is folkloric in feeling. This is a timeless Temperley statement bridal piece. Perfect for a desert wedding, no?
Temperley London

Monique Lhuillier
Oh how fabulous! No veil needed. Can you imagine how it moves on the dance floor?
Monique Lhuillier

Claire Pettibone Shangri-La Gown
The multi colored embroidery is layered over gold lace, and might just transport you to your own utopia.  Boho chic at its' finest!
Claire Pettibone

Alan Hannah
Spring 2019 Bridal Collection
I am crazy for British designer, Alan Hannah's gowns. There is something very unexpected about each design. Isn't this gold veil such a
 luxe look?

Wedding Wednesday: A Glimmer Of Gold

Wedding Wednesday: The Best Of Bridal 2016

(Inslee Designs)

Why would anyone take an entourage of judgemental bridesmaids to a salon, when you can shop for your gown in PJ'S from home? Last night I had the best time doing just that. The Spring 2016 Bridal Shows have happened, and the looks are lovely. There was plenty of bare skin, lots of sheerness, a bit of bohemian, and both grand and sleek silhouettes.  When it comes to bridal gowns, my taste leans anywhere but traditional. If you appreciate the unique, something sophisticated, or a fun factor, this bridal blog post is for you. 




HERE: 18 Gorgeous Gowns

Claire Pettibone Gothic Angel

If I was getting married today, the first place I would look is Claire Pettibone.  Her designs  are ethereal, certainly not traditional, yet still very bridal. The details on this gown are gorgeous.

Claire Pettibone

Claire Pettibone Notre Dame

Long sleeved French sky blue and black lace with stained glass beaded illusion back. For the bride who is into fashion more than looking like a bride.

Romona Keveza

Painterly pretty.

Luisa Beccaria Bridal Look #19

I am usually not a lace girl, but this gown is different. Truly beautiful. Love the sheer bodice and sleeves. Made in Italy.

Moda Operandi

Honor Ihlen Gown

Made from silk Mikado. I loved the sheer bib bodice and cut away shoulders. Everything else stunningly simple. This trunk show ends in 12 days

Vera Wang Spring 2016 Look #6

Vera managed to create a gown that is both pretty and edgy. Bows are usually too sweet for me, but this oversized ribbon is special.
