Bride Wedding Dress Fashion 2016 - 2017 Gelinlik Modelleri 2016 ve 2017 Modası

We find four designer dresses that could be perfect for you.

After having seen Sarah Jessica Parker wear a stunning white dress from Vivienne Westwood during the filming of Sex In The City in New York last week, we decided to take a closer look at what the autumn/winter ready-to-wear collections have to offer to fashion-conscious brides.

First up is Lela Rose, the American designer who showed her collection in New York earlier this year. Lela also designs a beautiful wedding collection, stocked at Browns Bride, so we were less than surprised when the exquisitely embroidered dress, pictured far left, appeared on the catwalk. If you like romantic cuts, flattering appliqué flowers and delicate shoulder straps, this could very well be the dress for you.

Also in New York, Alice Temperley showed a Ballet Russes-inspired collection that featured the fantastic white suit, pictured top left. The high-waisted trousers, the cropped jacket and the slightly Victorian shoulders all make this suit perfect for super-stylish brides who are getting married in a registry office or at an embassy abroad. The headpiece is for the brave only…

Over in London, Vivienne Westwood, the queen of punk and avant-garde glamour, showed her usual eclectic mix of colours and cuts, including the elegant dress we've now seen Carrie Bradshaw wear. Her show also featured this slightly less extravagant but equally as stunning little gold dress, pictured far left. The dress would be perfect for a registry office ceremony, too – or for the reception if you'd like to change into something a little bit more comfortable.

Finally, Alberta Ferretti created ice queen drama in Milan with the elegant floor-length silver gown, pictured above right, which looks like it's been stolen from a F. Scott Fitzgerald character's wardrobe. While silver might not be the colour of choice for many brides, it remains a great option for, in particular, winter weddings as it allows you to glisten and glow discreetly.

Spring 2008 Collection Oscar de la Renta

Oscar continues to design all of the collections and remains Chairman, he handed over his previous title of Chief Executive to son-in-law Alex Bolen in 2004. In 1997 Oscar launched OSCAR by Oscar de la Renta, a high-end sports line for the working girl, and in fall 2004 he debuted O Oscar, a sportswear line for the masses, with all items retailing for less than $100. Although that line is currently on hiatus, the new brand president Maria Vaccaro is re-launching the line for spring 2006. It's this marked ability to straddle diverse markets and worlds that has ensured his continued success.

Ask an Expert: Oscar de la Renta

What was your own wedding like?
I’ve been married twice—or, I will say, three times but to two women. My first wife was the editor-in-chief of French Vogue. This was back in 1967, and I said, “Why don’t we get a marriage license, and then, one day, if we feel like it, we will get married.” And that’s exactly what we did. We just went to City Hall, right here in New York. There is something wonderful and humbling about City Hall, because you wait in line with a lot of people, and there is a chapel, though it’s not a religious ceremony. I was married for eighteen years and then my first wife died. When I remarried, it was in the Dominican Republic, and I arranged everything.

You planned the wedding yourself?
I planned the entire wedding. Some friends were staying with us, and the night before we married, which was my wife-to-be’s birthday, I made a toast and said, “I want you to know that we are getting married tomorrow.” She didn’t really know.

You surprised her?
She was a little shocked, but we got married. And we have been married for almost nineteen years. Last year, we had a religious ceremony because we had only had a civil ceremony. It was just the two of us and our sons, Moises and Charlie, as witnesses.

What did your wife wear?
She was worried because she had come to Santo Domingo for vacation and felt she had nothing proper for a wedding. So she wore a white polka-dotted suit, which was the closest thing.

What did your daughter wear for her wedding?
When Eliza got married, I was so nervous that I made her two dresses. The second was the one, and she looked beautiful. She got married in our house by the same cardinal who married me and my wife. There are many emotions for a parent. I think, in a way, it’s harder for a man to accept that his little girl is getting married.

What prompted you to start designing bridal?
I’ve been doing wedding dresses for a long time, on and off. I love to do this, so I decided it was time.

How important is the veil?
I’ve always liked the traditional aspect of a wedding. I love the idea of a father walking the girl down the aisle and lifting the veil in front of the altar. Lately, there has been a lot of skin exposed in wedding dresses. I’m from a Catholic country, so it’s always a little bit difficult [for me], this idea of walking half-naked into a church.

What inspired your upcoming collection?
The eternal thought of making that day a very special one.

Carolina Herrera Bridal Spring 2008 Collection

Spring 2008, bridal gowns go high fashion

Bridal Week is usually regulated to red-headed step-child status in the fashion world—and rightfully so. All those shiny white dresses start to look hypnotically similar, and what the designers lack in creativity, they make up for in rhinestones. The spring 2008 season, which wrapped up last week, showed off gowns that were, for once, more high fashion and less David's Bridal. Designers like Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Monique Lhuillier, Elizabeth Filmore, and Reem Acra dared to stray from the usual formulaic looks and offered up off-the-shoulder dresses, pleats and ruffles, and even pastels. The showstopper of the week: Reem Acra's silk taffeta cape gown with an embroidered belt. Next year, save the lace and satin for your tablecloths.
