We always get very excited around this time of year. The fashion shows are over and bridal designers start to put their concepts into mainstream designs and launch their styles for Autumn.
One example of the exciting dresses we’ve got to look forward to is this gorgeous taffeta number by Watters.
We love the way the strapless gown and pin tuck skirt are bought straight into 2009 with the beaded band across the waist, which is perfect for any bride worried about their figure as it tucks the waist right in. We can’t wait to see more of the designs for the year ahead.
Since we’re on the subject of vintage wedding dresses, we couldn’t resist sharing this lace lovely with you.
The frock by Monique Lhuillier at Browns Bride, has a lace bustier with diamante clad straps and a ribbon around the middle, to give brides a slimmer looking waist. This is complemented by a plain sating A-line skirt, which we think is a perfect match to the busy bodice.
In fact, we love this dress so much we’ve put it on the top of our wedding dress list. Quite a compliment when you have a list as long as ours.
