“The perfect wedding dress,” explained Eleanor Thompson in The Wedding Dress: The 50 Designs That Changed the Course of Bridal Fashion, “is not only a dream for a bride but often for designers, too—a chance to realize their conceptual objectives and express the highest levels of their craft.” The author explores show-stopping one-off gowns “designed for the runway rather than the church aisle” that became the design touchstone of a particular era.
A recent article in Vogue
Daily, “Fashion’s Most Outrageous Couture Brides,” becomes a visual walk
along decades of fashion catwalks to show how “haute couture exists somewhere
in its own otherworldly sphere, which lies between tradition and
experimentation.”

All this to say that in the immensely creative spirit of a
famous couturier in Paris or Milan or London lives the “origin design” of your wedding gown! Bits and pieces of
inspiration from these sometimes outrageous designs all trickle down to the
rest of the wedding world—showrooms, shops, salons—and in the misty swirl of
white silks and laces and fairy tales, you
find your perfect dress!
Whatever you are wearing on your wedding day—a designer gown
or something borrowed from your best friend—add your own heart-full magic and goddess
vibe and be a vision of beauty in your own right!
Love.
Listen. Let go.
….with
love from Cornelia
