Carolina Herrera ‘s 2013 bridal collection was inspired by the photographs of Cecil Beaton “I had just seen the Cecil Beaton exhibit in London and was so taken with it that I wanted to design a collection based on the beauty he portrayed—the blacks, the whites, the fantasy of it all “Explains Herrera.

With the mixture of tradition and sophistication and impeccable attention to details, her bridal collection is the perfect choice for the fashion forwarding bride who looks for something different. From the classic look to a modern and non-conventional bride the collection has something for everyone; including the slinky Pippa Middleton-inspired cowl-neck dress, an adorable short dress and the iconic bridal trousers suit.

Vera Wang ‘s Spring 2013 bridal collection titled “Mei Meng” meaning “a beautiful dream” is celebration of love and passion, inspired by the traditional Chinese wedding colour, Vera Wang has designed yet another breath taking collection of ethereal bridal gowns all in luxurious tones of red from crimson to scarlet.

Despite the fact that Ivory and white still seem to be the standard wedding colours, we welcome the new trend of using fashion forward, non-white wedding gowns. The innovative overlays of tulle and organza with fitted corsets and sheer décolletage has made the collection a contemporary and daring work of art. Layers of chiffon and tulle ensure a feminine look, whilst the regularly added embellishments give off glamour reminiscent of a red carpet gown.
