Bridal Fashion Fall 2009

It's been a little while since bridal market wrapped for Fall 2009 and I have to tell you that it has been difficult if not impossible to select favorites. The collections were gorgeous, breathtaking, inspiring and wonderful. Bridal couture gets better and better. One of the things I loved was the continuing asymetric influence, done in understated and elegant ways. As a seamstress I appreciate the small details that make the gown itself as well. This season is the confluence of structured details and floating almost architectural bits.

I had to chose some favorites and wanted to see what you thought as well!

Always, Always, Always a favorite--- Monique L'hullier. I look forward to every collection with great anticipation as she mixes the traditional and fresh in such a way that every gown is not only breathtaking but quietly inventive.

Asymetric in the bodice shaping as well as the skirt and the embellishments and beading are spectacular. The quiet satin ribbon at the waist makes this gown near perfection!

Also from L'hullier (above) is this frothy and amazing weding gown. Frothy and elegant. The movement is lovely the details incredible.

Love these gowns from Rivini, (below)

More of that incredible and delicate tulle skirting---- delicious! The gown above reminds me of what Cindarella would wear at a 2009 wedding to the Prince. So yummy.

Also from Rivini the gown above. The shaping is absolute elegance- traditional yet so fresh and today. The details on the gown are just perfect, absolutely stunning!

From LianCarlo is this deceptively simple stunner. The mermaid shaping continues to be popular and the dhape of this gown reflects that with a bit of a twist. Don't you love the pink crystal beading on the bodice?

Of course you can't begin to have an intelligent conversation about bridal couture without including something delish from Vera Wang. The gown below was just one in a line up of stuffing creations. Doesn't it look absolutely weightless?
And for the moment, I'll stop with the gown above--- also Vera Wang. Frothy, gorgeous, stunning! The use of the raw edged organza layers worked to perfect advantage-- love it!

All of us here at BBP are looking forward to a wedding season that will undoubtedly focus on many gorgeous brides and their gowns. Stay tuned!
