Style File: The Alternative Gowns of 2012



Recently inspired by one of our awesome non-traditional clients who is turning to high fashion for her gown rather than hitting the bridal shops, I thought it would be fun to walk through some of my favorite runway looks from Spring 2012 Ready to Wear that would make amazing wedding gowns off the runway.

From start to finish, here are some of the best gowns caught walking for this season. In the first pairing are dresses by Marchesa and Salvatore Ferragamo (this is actually from the Resort Collection), both of which I think are super romantic and sweet, great for a wedding that's not totally formal, but not casual either. Next duo are dresses from Valentino and Alexander McQueen (also from the Resort Collection), these are definitely a little bohemian, good for an outdoor wedding or something small and maybe a little more casual. The third set of dresses are pretty flashy and fun, great for a formal wedding too, they're by Christian Siriano and Zac Posen. The last set of dresses are from Temperley London and Elie Saab and these two are awesome for a fun spirited wedding because they're very playful.

Royal Blush



Everyone is gushing about the Royal wedding of Kate and William, so figured we should join in the dialog as well. I don't have a ton to say other than that the entire wedding was flawless. Oh, and that I could DIE over Sarah Burton's gown design. I love that Kate chose to honor McQueen in her designer choice. He was an icon and in spite of his premature death, clearly his relevance as a designer, but also as a brand continues.



Just to recap for those of you who haven't gotten the full story, the english and french chantilly lace on the gown was made of hand cut flowers, the ivory satin jacquard train was nine feet long and the dress had 58 buttons along the backside. Oh, and lest I forget to mention that her "something blue" was sewn right into the gown. It's a dream dress, a modern twist on the classic formal gown. I can't wait to see all the new wedding collections inspired by this dress, but I have to say, Kate looked absolutely stunning.



And to think, all this out of a college romance. Maybe we should all go back to school. Sigh...
