New York celebrated Bridal Week 2011 during the middle of April and some of the top wedding gown designers in the world got a chance to show what their visions were for the future year.
If what was exhibited is to be believed, the top designers believe that more princess style dresses will be the norm next year. Folks such as Priscilla’s of Boston, Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta, Badgley Mischka, Angel Sanchez, Carolina Herrera and many others exhibited those types of dresses, along with a few other fashions as well. Monique Lhuillier presented something a little bit different, with more bare shoulders, lots of frills and lace, corset bodices, and a couple of shorter dresses, one in particular that stood out having a bunched short skirt that was shaped like a white rose in front.
Christos came out with the look of high waisted corset bodices that exhibited different levels of eye-popping cleavage, yet seemed to stick to the princess theme as well overall. Someone who deviated slightly from the theme of the week was Carol Hannah Whitfield, who exhibited some wedding gowns that looked like they came straight from ancient Greece, especially one gown that covered one shoulder like a toga, had a wonderfully embroidered silver belt at the waist, an A-line silhouette and a sweep train.
The other theme of the week was black and white, and in this regard I’d have to say my favorite dress of the week is the one pictured here by Carolina Herrera, off the shoulders, a little bit of lace, but the matching black flower pattern on both the high waisted bodice and the lower part of the silhouette; the black flower bouquet was a wonderful touch as well.
