Monique Lhuillier, Fall 2015

Last week was bridal market for the Fall 2015 lines, and it did not disappoint. The big trends were barely-there straps, crop tops and cut ups (perhaps inspired by Kim Kardashian?), skirts with major slits, skirts that look like wedding cakes, illusion detailing, dramatic backs (completely bare or bedazzled) and long sleeves. My favorite look of the season was from Monique Lhuillier, it is now possible for you to buy a copy of Amal Alamuddin’s gown that she wore to marry George Clooney and there was lots of buzz around the Frozen wedding dress:

At first, I got all judgmental and snarky on that one. It’s not Halloween, it’s a wedding! Nobody has any business wearing a Disney princess costume on their Big Day. And then I immediately felt like a real jerk. When it comes to weddings, everyone has an opinion and no one is afraid to voice it… But the only opinions that really matter are that of the bride and groom. And if she wants to dress like she’s just emerged from her favorite cartoon, or if he wants to rappel down a rope to the ceremony, great. It’s your day. DO IT.

And besides, every bride wants a fairytale moment with her dress; each girl just defines what makes them feel like a princess differently. I love the red carpet style, my mom loves ball gowns big enough to hide the entire bridal party under, my dad’s into the nun look and Tony has officially tapped out and checked out.
