WANT to know what the next season’s bridal gown trends are?
Just take a look at the clothes just seen on the spring 2002 runways at the New York, Paris and Milan fashion weeks. The latest crop of wedding gowns borrow the best bits from ready-to-wear looks by Oscar, Donatella and the gang.
The top bridal dresses are sewn of intricately embroidered lace, have slightly sexy corset details and feature dramatic ruffled or gloriously pouffy skirts. Filmy tulle veils add a bit of intrigue to overly sweet appearances.
Overall, the new wedding look is romantic – just like those on the runways.
Here, we compare and contrast the freshest bridal styles with some of next spring’s smartest ready-to-wear looks.
