“If that dress doesn’t make you feel like a princess, it’s not the dress for you” - New York bridal designer Ada Athanassiou
Whether they are born royal or not, on their big day every bride should feel like a princess. If fairytale romance is your scene, there is no better day to let your fantasies run riot. Yes, you can wear a tiara; yes, you can float down the aisle trailing a cloud of tulle; and yes, you do get to kiss the prince. The look as a whole may be timeless, but its execution allows for endless innovation. Chiffon drapes well, organza is sheer yet crisp enough to deliver that fuller, Gone With The Wind drama, while lace – Jennifer Lopez’s choice for her big day – is gaining in popularity. Modern twists include the use of feathers for a soft-focus feel, innovative bell-shaped silhouettes and unashamedly froufrou cascades that call for the sort of daring which only the excuse of a wedding can inspire.
