You’re a free-spirited gal with impeccable style. You have the ability to see and appreciate beauty that’s often overlooked, but once you get your hands on it, you make it arrestingly show-stopping. While you may not want to dig in a thrift store for your wedding gown, you do want it to include vintage-inspired detailing that whispers of another time. We scoured Bridal Market to bring you The One to walk in down the aisle toward your one and only.
Jenny Packham’s Fall 2012 collection was created for the strong, individualistic bride. Antiqued silver and crystal beading, opals and moonstones accent the soft, satin georgettes, crepes and tulles, for an Art Deco look that any boho bride would love.
The vintage Alencon lace bodice from Alvina Valenta’s collection pairs ever so eloquently with the flowing georgette skirt, cascading in detail.
Ivy and Aster floor-length free-spirit gowns such as this one practically floated down the runway, while other gowns hinted of yesteryear romance with antique lace overlays.
