Resort 2015 Outfits for a Cutting Edge Bride

Who says you can only find inspiration for your wedding dress in bridal collections? The long, white dress (with its endless variations) is one of designers’ all-time favorites, and the fantastic examples I found in some Resort 2015 collections prove just that: fashion gurus designed dresses for special occasions, such as exotic holidays or just glam, lazy days, that are totally appropriate for the modern cutting edge bride.

From chic with a sporty feel to full-on glamorous and traditional with a hint of the unexpected, the fresh-off-the-catwalk Resort collections are not only fit for stylish jet-setters, but also for fashionable brides.

Altuzarra, Zac Posen and Jason Wu created impeccable dresses for a minimalist bride, which offer infinite options to amp the look up with impressive jewelry and a pretty veil or headpiece. Gucci and Donna Karan opted for column dresses with a touch of sparkle around the waist (Gucci prefers a barely-there slit emphasized by gleaming crystals, while Karan goes for a black velvet sash embellished with sparkly brooches).

Marchesa bets once again on its go-to fabric – opulent lace, Carolina Herrera goes graphic adding a black motif to a sumptuous train-dress, and Oscar de la Renta wows with a strapless dress with lively floral print and an oversized candy-pink ribbon tied at the back. A dream come true for unconventional brides.

If you love pleats, you can count on Hugo Boss for a Grecian-goddess pastel dress and, if you are planning a garden-party wedding, you can check Valentino’s collection for a cotton gown with floral belt.

BCBG Max Azria offers a spectacular alternative for a beach wedding, while Chanel charms with a flamboyant lace ruches dress worn with a show-stopping jacket covered in floral appliques.

The focus is on unpretentious yet strong silhouettes that look perfect both in a metropolis and outside the city.
