Wedding Wednesday: Sheer Comes The Bride ~ Transparent Trends

The wedding gown trends for 2016 veil very little. I don't get it. Is there really a need to look half naked on your wedding day? It use to be "that" was saved for the honeymoon.  I can appreciate any kind of fabulous design, sheer or draped in fabric, but this trend is not for the faint of heart (or modesty.) 

HERE: 15 Dresses Sheer To Seduce 

Bonita Couture 

This dress is beyond gorgeous, and maybe....just maybe appropriate for the beach. That slit almost goes "beyond."

Shabi & Israel 

No one will care what the front of this number looks like with what's going on in back!

Pronovias Caraola

A unbelievable creation of sheerness and lace. The bride, however, best stand perfectly still.

Galia Lahav Bridal Spring 2016 

Super pretty, both the bride and the dress! That side panel of embroidery looks like a danger zone.

Claire Pettibone

This sheer back is etched with embroidered lace. Gorgeous, but does a bride need to to tell the world that she isn't wearing undies?

Christos Costarellos Bridal Collection Spring/Summer 2016

Boho chic and "free spirited."

Inbal Dror Fall 2016

Pockets are fun and the mini skirt is, too, but you can see through both.

Berta Fall 2016

Sexy shimmer and encrusted crystals create a sheer but sensational look.  Every dress in this line is done with the utmost of seductive style.

Jim Hjelm

Incredibly sophisticated if it wasn't totally sheer!

Vera Wang Fall 2016

Fabulous style, but really where would this gown be appropriate?

Pallas Couture 2016 

Perfect for your Vegas wedding at the Chapel of Love

Mira Zwillinger Bridal 2016

Would be delightful if lined.

Marco & Maria Bridal 2016 

This would have totally worked as a great reception outfit if it wasn't for the see through bodice. A beaded bra maybe?

Marco & Maria Bridal 2016 

A pretty tame look, even with the undone laces, until you get to the barely there bodice.

Yolanchris Spring 2016

I would say "I do" in this haute couture number. It's for the bride who cares more about fashion than being the princess bride! Love it for an afternoon wedding.

Wedding Wednesday: The Best Of Bridal 2016

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.
