As usual, the major fashion houses concluded their haute couture shows with stunning bridal trends gown designs. This long-standing tradition is followed by top designers due to the significant profits that a single couture wedding dress can generate. In fact, some experts believe that a wedding dress from a couture collection can be as valuable as an entire collection of bridal gowns launched by brands during the spring and fall seasons. At the ongoing Paris Fashion Week, we have witnessed highly elegant designs that every bride-to-be for the upcoming fall will want to consider for her big day.
Metallic Wedding Dress for the Modern Bride
The color palette of the wedding dresses we gathered from Paris Fashion Week is diverse. In addition to the classic white and cream dresses, we were impressed by the metallic designs that cater to the modern bride's taste. We recommend the silver dress from Tamara Ralph’s collection, which features a body-hugging silhouette that flares below the knee, a square neckline, wide straps, and embroidered flowers along the sides. Pair it with silver sandals and a veil with a face-covering net for a complete look.
Low-Waist Wedding Dresses Leading the Scene
If you keep up with the latest fashion trends, you know that the low-waist trend has made a strong comeback, even extending to wedding dresses. At the Chanel show, we spotted a modest dress with a fitted bodice, a full skirt, and long puffed sleeves, adorned with meticulous embroidery on the upper part. The design includes unique details like a long train and fashionable bows decorating the model’s head.
High-Low Wedding Dresses: The Latest Trend
The trend of high-low dresses—short in the front and long in the back—continues to captivate designers. Julie De Libran presented a beautiful design with a modest cut, covered in sequins and adorned with fringes at the hem. We also loved the large, prominent silver flowers on the waist and shoulders, making it perfect for a bride having an intimate ceremony after the official vows.
Wedding Dresses in Unconventional Fabrics
Some wedding dresses that closed the haute couture shows in Paris stood out for their unconventional materials. We were intrigued by dresses made from crinkled and textured fabrics, like the voluminous plain dress by Charles De Vilmorin. This design features off-the-shoulder long sleeves and a low waist, catering to the bold bride who seeks an extraordinary look for her wedding day.
