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.

Bridal Fashion 2013 - Stephanie Allin's Night & Day Collection

Stephanie Allin’s 2013 Bridal collection titled ‘Night and Day’ was inspired by the romance of Marrakesh, the pink gem of Morocco.  Marrakesh is fondly called the Rose City because of its salmon pink painted buildings and so Stephanie adds touches of rose hued fabrics to some of her traditional ivory silk gowns.
