For this year, the design is even more expressive and romantic. There is always something unique and different in each of the gowns she creates.

We like the combination between lace and other organic fabrics. This is definitely a smarter way of emphasizing the beauty of the lace texture. This fabric is so romantically and femininely used here that we can’t even dare disliking these gowns! The pure white fabrics add more to the elegance and modern sophistication of this collection.

We also fancy the blush ivory models adorned with lace sheer overlays. The soft lace embroideries and details used for these gowns are not traditional and not even heavy as you might expect. The contrary, the illusion overlays allow the lace flower embroidery to behave naturally and very soft. This is why these silhouettes look so feminine and nonchalant. Every single detail from here is hand sewn.

We have to admit the oriental culture can provide a fashion designer with amazing inspiration for his collections. Their collections speak of glamour and nonchalance. These two styles are specific to the vintage attitude and this is why we like their dresses so much.

Elie Saab is one of the most remarkable designers who come from Beirut. This region gave us many important names of the bridal and fashion industry.

The ultra feminine lines and sheer overlays he uses for the skirts look impeccable and ravishing. We also adore the rich textures and embroideries he uses for the surface of the gowns, especially the lace and floral embellishments.

Wedding Dresses With Straps
Published January 25, 2012 | The bridal fashion is constantly changing and this is not a novelty to you guys. We all know how complex and sophisticated the bridal industry is and also how intricate our tastes as brides are. This can only lead to great transformations in the field of wedding gowns and bridal looks. But women love everything that is new, hot and trendy, don’t they? And when you’re a bride-to-be, everything fresh and innovative is worth taking into consideration.
However, it depends on the vision each bride has in part. There are conservative brides and modern brides who think differently and want to wear totally different dresses at their wedding. Nevertheless, there is the eclectic style popularized today that might fit and flatter both these categories of brides.
Wedding Dresses With Straps (Source: fashionbride.files.wordpress.com)
The fusions created nowadays between the old and the new, the simple and the sophisticated, the natural and the glamorous are great features of the eclectic style that we were talking about. The simple & clean is usually preferred by casual, plain or mature brides. On the other hand, the richly detailed dresses are more on the taste of sophisticated brides.
Wedding Dresses With Straps (Source: fashionbride.files.wordpress.com)
The wedding dress with straps is one of the many styles that seem to behave slightly different from the way it used to a few years ago. The new look leans towards a sexier side, a more feminine and whimsical design. The modern design can feature two or a single strap and they can be wide or thinner, clean or embroidered.

Funky brides can find gorgeous ruffled straps or even feathered straps designed for a bolder type of dress. The classic brides should look for the wide strap model – which usually comes in lace and re-embroidered lace patterns. Modern women will surely find the one-shoulder strap designs more appropriate for their taste.

The straps adorned with fabric details and sparkling accents make this style look a bit more formal. In general, the strapped design is more fitted for casual or informal affairs. But when the straps are ornate with rich details the style moves on to a further level of elegance. One of the hottest trends for strapped wedding dresses is the one that comes in sheer fabric.

Our designers used tulle and other light weight fabrics to create soft, ethereal and breezy gowns for the modern bride – who is more commodious than the traditional one. The sheer-strap designs are our favorites because they look more refined, more feminine and also more sensual. We have different samples from different designers (Justin Alexander, Enzoani and Wtoo) to present to help you decide upon the most appropriate one for you.

Alessandro Angelozzi is one of our favorite designers of the moment. His label is based in Italy but his style is not very classical. The contrary, it is adapted to fit current trends. He likes to use bold cuts and tight bodices paired with lavish skirts. In many cases the skirts are adorned with feathers or multiple layers and tiers. The fabrics are lightweight and this is why the silhouettes look so stylish. We like the combination between the sexy & the elegant. Don’t you think this is a successful fusion?

We fancy the long romantic veils used for these voluptuous silhouettes. They add more daintiness, high class and femininity to the daring cuts. The results are pretty impressive. The ball gown and A-line styles are not the only ones we can include into the princess-bridal look. The mermaid and modified A-line silhouettes are also considered fitted for the princess look.

We have to admit that although the trends are constantly changing, and so are the tastes of the brides, there is one style that never seems to fade or fall out of fashion. And this is the romantic style.
French Wedding Dress (Source: weddinginspirasi.com)
The majority of our designers like to create their collections according to the finest premises of the romantic style and then make a few changes required by the modern couture. This is why most of the wedding gowns we find today look so elevated and in the same time so classically romantic. The romantic factor is timeless and it can always provide a bride with a more appealing and feminine look.

This bridal line features gowns with a magical touch, inspired by the natural beauty of the nature. The palette of fabrics used for this line contains tulle, lace and satin and a few jewel embroideries and appliqués made of rhinestones, pearls and sequins that add even more splendor and extravagance to the models.

We like the classy silhouettes and the refinement of the lines. Apparently simple and discreet in their beauty, these gowns are sophisticated and elegantly formal. They are great for any season as they come in so many different fabrics and textures – soft and thick. The impeccable white color of the fabrics and the rich embroideries remind us of the classy white bride. We like the combinations and mixed created between two types of materials, like the ones made between tulle & lace.
French Wedding Dress (Source: weddinginspirasi.com)
The opulent texture of these gowns is not overwhelming and not ostentatious or heavy either. On the contrary, everything looks soft, dainty and natural. The fusions made between the old and the new and also between the simple and the sophisticated are something to appreciate. We adore the geometric neck cuts used for some of these models, as well as the singlet-cut backs decorated with small buttons. The pearl-covered lace silhouettes are ideal for winter affairs, don’t you think? We also favor the mermaid cut silhouettes and the rhinestone jewel appliqués.

Short Wedding Dresses
Published January 21, 2012 | The short wedding dress style is not for everybody. Not all brides can wear a short dress at the wedding and look both elegant and unique. This style is only for those who are bold enough to assume a sexier bridal look. One has to have or find the right attitude to wear a short wedding dress and this is perhaps the biggest inconvenient for many women in this regard.
Even if you would like to wear a short dress on your big day you won’t be able to pull the best look if you don’t have that sexy appeal in you. On the other hand, there are women who look at their best in short dress. Put them in floor-length designs and they will look completely unattractive and inappropriate.
Short Wedding Dress (Source: shortweddingdresses.name)
So we recommend the short dress style to offbeat brides who want to make a bold statement at their wedding and also to show off her beautiful stems. The short style is ideal for women who are obsessed with shoes and wish to show them off on the wedding day. A long dress might not allow you to expose your shoes as much as you want, so wearing a shorter gown is the right thing to do.
Short Wedding Dress (Source: weddinginspirasi.com)
But this design is also great for those who think they have beautiful legs and wish to wear something more flattering. For hot summer weddings planned outdoors – especially on the beach, the short look is ideal. Avoid getting grass on a large train if your wedding takes place in a garden or in a park.

Pompous designs are not that trendy anymore, but the rich style is still in. A short wedding dress can be simple and clean, but it can also be sophisticated and richly detailed. The theme and formality of the wedding are the important factors you guys need to consider when choosing the best short dress. In general, these types of dresses are more fitted for casual affairs, but there are many couture gowns designed exclusively for formal celebrations.
Short Wedding Dress (Source: mustardandsage.files.wordpress.com)
They look ravishingly beautiful and original and we brought some of our favorite models for today. Among the designers who create short wedding dresses we appreciate we mention Jorge Terra, Sarah Seven and Stephanie Allen – who is an expert in tea-length designs.
Short Wedding Dress (Source: weddinginspirasi.com)
The length of the dress is definitely one of the most important things to think of when making the big selection. The mini style is for bold sexy brides, the above the knees length is for youthful bridal looks, the knee length designs are for the mature brides and the tea length styles are more appropriate for the vintage-chic brides.
