Bridal Trends From the Catwalk to the Aisle


The decidedly decadent Paris Haute Couture Week kicked off with the Spring/Summer 2010 collection and John Galliano for Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani and Chanel provided some amazing eye candy. With the red carpet season upon us these designs are bound to set some trends in bridal wear.


Giorgio Armani sent his models into the stars with moon shaped embellishments and accessories. Strong, graceful and almost futurist curves followed through from necklines to hemlines in glossy shimmering fabrics.


John Galliano presented a theatrical equestrian themed collection for Christian Dior. However, there was still room from some beautifully opulent dresses featuring indulgent bows, delicate pretty lace and luxurious satin cascading into elaborate folds.


Chanel decided to mix things up a bit and took a detour from the usual black, white and navy to introduce a fresh injection of pastels and flashes of silver. The result was an interesting blend of futurism and romanticism.


With so many gorgeous (expensive) gowns on show, it's good to know that these bits of fashion heaven will filter down and give inspiration to wedding designers everywhere and hopefully with attainable prices!
