You remember your heart skipping a beat when you first saw her. The taste of that first kiss. You’ve wished upon a star and dreamt about your wedding day since you were a little girl, and now here it is. This season’s Bridal Market runways revealed gowns that are sure to fulfill your hopeless romantic heart’s desires.
Marchesa offered a wide variety of styles, but the one that is sure to put you head over heels is this enchanting ball gown.
Henry Roth offered 11 different designs, each clearly targeting a specific style. The one that called out to the hopeless romantic is Kathy, a beautiful one-shoulder asymmetrical draped gown, adorned with floral and beaded embellishments and lace embroidery.
Monique Lhuillier can always be counted on for adding that special touch of girlish whimsy to each of her dresses, whether it’s in the form of frothy skirts, over-sized waistline bows, or beautiful embroidery, as seen in her Bouquet (top) and Promise (bottom) gowns.
As a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, the ultimate dress that personally stole my heart, out of the thousands that I crossed paths with, was Lazaro’s 3213 style. Sweetheart neckline with shear Alencon lace embroidery, ivory organza billowing flounce ball gown with folded organza and lace accents, and chapel train—now that is pure poetry.
No matter what language your romance is spoken in, Jim Hjelm speaks it fluently, such as in this floral appliqued A-line gown style 8217 (top) or the gorgeous lace-covered style 8211 (bottom).
Ivy and Aster’s Bouquet gown is the perfect dress to bring out your bridal glow.
Aptly named, My Beloved by Reem Acra has a frothy skirt, embellished bodice and cap sleeves to create a look that’s fit for a fairytale.
