Anoushka G SS14 Bridal Collection - Decades of Elegance

Last summer Anoushka G's collection took a tour around the world, for the summer of 2014 the inspiration takes a trip through the decades.
Starting with The 1930s


Veering away from the androgynous 20's, the 30's saw a return to the curvy figure. On the above gown, delicate and feminine butterfly sleeves fluttering around the arms- a fashion popular in the 30s 

The Forties
Broad shoulders became the trend by the late 30s, early 40s. Above Anoushka emulates the padded shoulder look with beaded embellishments. The embellishment continues around the back.

The Fabulous Fifties
By the mid 40s the swing skirt was in style and in the 50s, well you could say it was in full swing! The strapless gown was a popular evening choice. Here the above gown juxtaposes the strapless with a more demure lace overlay.
The Swinging Sixties
A fashion revolutionary decade ranging from the mod look with simple geometric shift mini dresses to the hippie look with bellbottoms and psychedelic prints. Here Anoushka choose the 60's A line gown in lace layers and the 60s space age look with a satin train billowing out behind a straight shift like gown embellished with corded lace .

Timeless
 The low cowl back and folds is a classic, conjuring up images of the ancient Greek & Roman goddesses to the glamorous Hollywood movie stars.
Finale dress

And for a touch of the 21st century elegance was the finale fishtail gown in tulle and embellished in beads.

Stephanie Allin SS14 Bridal Collection - The Look of Love

The Look of Love collection was inspired by luxury London in the glamorous 1920s and 30s.

Daisy
The Daisy gown opened the show with a dramatic pose displaying the asymmetric overlay of silk flower embellishments adorning the full skirt whilst the over the shoulder straps enhanced the hour glass figure.

Paris

The above gown called Paris reminisces in the Art Deco with the  heavily beaded fabric, the beaded waistline and straps that form a V at the back .A straight flapper style  silhouette with a cowl neckline draped over the bust..

Tallulah front
Tallulah back

Back detailing is always important and the collection included silk flowers accessorised with tulle shoulder drapes.

Violet

The Finale dress was a fairy tale vision of  violet and lavender hue flowers on soft blush.

Stewart Parvin SS14 Bridal Collection


For SS14, Stewart Parvin see less is more chic and goes for emphasis on texture using fabric to create depth and interest rather than embellishments. Lace is still a key fabric.

Tone on tone embellishments instead of sparkly beading.

Covering up is going to become increasingly important with a slightly more prim look overall.
And the year of the sleeve!
