A woman can spend her life dreaming of her wedding day. What to wear to any special occasion is hard enough to decipher; so Carolina Herrera didn’t get it wrong when she said: “A bride should be certain she has found a dress that makes her feel confident and above all else beautiful.”
The Venezuelan-born designer, who celebrated her 76th birthday this year, has dressed an array of style icons from the First Ladies of the United States, Michelle Obama and Jackie Kennedy, to Hollywood A-listers including American socialite Olivia Palermo and Glee actress Dianna Agron.
This season, Herrera has created a selection of raw, beautiful, elegant and classic styles for stunning brides-to-be. Her fall 2016 bridal collection embraces charm, grace, gentility and tranquility. It evokes sensuality through transparency. Impressive fluid silhouettes are embellished with intricate lace scallop necklines, crystals, and hand placed lace on organza create the impression of painted motif bodices.
Chantilly and guipure lace appliqué on tulle form beautiful feminine shapes; while sheer layering and pleats evoke a sense of overall lightness and fluidity. A neutral palette of blush tones and nude hues enhance the sense of mystery and seductive spirit. We think you will be amazed.
