The Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013 bridal collection was certainly a display of old, new and a dash of blue.
While most of the collection featured traditional shades of white, de la Renta wrapped his runway show in two striking blood red gowns, perhaps more suitable for the un-traditional bride…
Some of more old-fashioned white dresses hinted at the ‘something blue’ of wedding traditions, and we’re pretty obsessed with the bridal pantsuit that shows off the midriff. And by obsessed we mean: unable to decide whether it is fit for a wedding or more for a holiday at the Hamptons…
Would you wear de la Renta’s bridal designs?

We’re officially in love. And this time we’re not talking about our hubby to be. Instead it’s Alice Temperley’s Ophelia 2012 bridal collection, which has stolen our hearts.
The range mixes boho, the flapper era and striking silhouettes to make this collection one to lust after.
If you’re a vintage gal at heart, you’ll love the designers Emmeline frock, which emulates the 20s Flapper look with beading and crystals, while the designer’s Kelly frock with its peacock design is great for brides who want to stand out in style.
It’s no wonder Kate Middleton is a fan of this designer.
See the gallery below for our top five frocks.

There’s nothing more exciting than when bridal designers unveil their latest collections. And it was no exception when Vera Wang revealed her Spring 2013 Bridal Collection on her blog.
Inspired by the colour of love, red – which is also the traditional Chinese wedding colour – Vera Wang’s latest bridal range is simply beautiful. Offering fairytale-like, ethereal wedding dresses, featuring lots of intricately layered ruffle and corset solhouettes that give you waists to die for. If you’d rather keep to the more classic ivory, each design can be made to suit your taste, but we love the fiery passion in these gowns.
Which one is your favourite?

Sophia has also designed signature pieces of sterling silver and gold plated jewellery with the renowned goldsmith Ilias Lalaounis to compliment the bridal collection.
