2021 Wedding Gown concepts



Givenchy - pre-fall 2021


Carolina Herrera - "Leyla" dress, Bridal spring 2020
double face silk georgette trumpet skirt

Like this but with a plain stretch tulle sleeve, higher funnel neck & 
possibly A-line skirt rather than trumpet

They do have the below one in the same collection:



Carolina Herrera - "London" dress, Bridal spring 2020
Silk faille ballgown with floral organza beaded applique and 
detachable embroidered stretch tulle bolero.

I don't know why they're trying to cover the front of this in every photo, but
I like the kitschy-ness of the roses on this sheer top:






Carolina Herrera - Bridal spring 2018

LOVE this skirt w/ the tiers & sheer panels.





Vera Wang - empire waist silk dress

I'm surprised at how much I appreciate the simplicity of this dress, and how striking
it could be to wear a simple, dark shade gown to your wedding.
This one is ridiculously priced ($5K+), but I want to get a seamstress to
make my dress anyhow.

White by Vera Wang - Tulle Beaded Lace Wedding Dress





I'm learning that I like simple material but unusual/bold details i.e. tiers, frills, bows,
sleeves, high necklines, square backs, gloves etc


Boudoir 1861 - Beroche | Linen tiered Bridal Dress
$240 CAD



They also sell skirts by themselves to wear over or under your gown
for just the ceremony or whatnot:


Boutique 1861 - Louise-Marie | White Maxi Skirt
Materials : 100% nylon. Lining: 100% polyester

$68 Sale


Philana | A-Line Tulle Skirt
$120





Robe de K - Korean bridal 





Union Dresses - Square Neckline Long Sleeved gown

I'd like something unembellished - just the material itself with maybe something simple 
on the neckline or cuffs. Potential materials include: Taffeta - a fine lustrous fabric, with a crisp texture.




 Milla Nova - 2021





Francesco Scognamiglio - spring 2019 couture detail





BESIDE COUTURE BY GEMY - BC1414 

But in a richer fabric, like velvet (below).

I don't think I want to do white (or black). Maybe burgundy?


Fendi - fall 2019 couture detail





Alessandra Rich -  FALL 2014

An oldie but still so inspiring! Love the modern relaxed panniers!!!

Panniers or side hoops are women's undergarments worn in the 17th and 18th centuries 

to extend the width of the skirts at the side while leaving the front and back relatively flat.



Alessandra Rich - fall 2016

& this one has inspired me for bridal wear since it came out. Not the sheer skirt, but the very high neck, open shoulders, arms cuffs, side cut outs & large scalloped hemline, all edged in frilly lace. It's not racy because it's just too damned demure! It's brilliant!

Here Comes the Bride

Valentino - Couture Spring 2014
Imagine it in a less soiled yellow hue
Valentino couture - spring 2013

This post is about wedding gowns.

Neckline examples:
Valentino couture - spring 2013
High, Victorian neck, full chest, shoulders and arms covered. Very regal and romantic.
Elie Saab couture - fall 2011
High, boat neckline with center slit. More cocktail.

Elie Saab couture - spring 2014
Extremely sheer high neck, covered chest, shoulders, arms. Very mermaid.

Elie Saab couture - fall 2013

Here the neckline/sleeves are completely sheer and leave a stark separation between the bodice and top/sleeves. There's an intensity to this type of bold contrast of texture-pattern & sheer-opaque. Overall, a more dramatic effect.
Luisa Beccaria - fall 2013
More substantial, rigid lace, almost opaque coverage. Once again, regal and historical.

Elie Saab couture - fall 2011
Slightly ruched high neckline with mesh underlay and lace trimmed draping overlay.
Very girlish, sweet.
Valentino couture - fall 2012

Full coverage with full bell sleeves. Lace at neckline. Pattern used for textured effect here, but the fabrics' negative space is SHEER. Ingenious. Anyway, the bell sleeves create a similar feel to the above look. Innocent, girly.

Valentino couture - spring 2013

The high neckline and covered chest combined with the barely cap sleeves is a much more severe look in my opinion. Almost doll-like. I think best for tall, flat-chested females.

& Bridal doesn't have to be full-length to be elegant or glamourous:
Elie Saab couture - fall 2011
Giambattista Valli - Couture spring 2013
Start imagining edgier delicate textiles for bridal. Irregular, large mesh for instance. I despise strapless for brides, but with the exaggerated hips and exposed feet it looks daintier.

And who says hair for weddings must be tousled or tied up??
I think long, (smooth), straight hair is very modern on a bride
or mid-length

Without bangs it's very 70s
Giambattista Valli - couture spring 2013
Maybe these ladies have something to do with it?
