Classic Actresses Inspire Bridal Couture...

Posted on 07:43 by mark khandry
It seems like there's been an awful lot of weddings lately (I was in two within 8 months) and the epidemic doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. Keeping this in mind, I decided to dig up some bridal fashion for the blog, and while browsing various websites, this beautiful "Audrey Hepburn lookalike" welcomed me to the front page of Alta MODA Bridal Boutique.

I did a double take and went to find some pictures of the real Audrey. The resemblance is rather amazing...


Eager to find some more photos of this beautiful model, I clicked through to the ROSA CLARÁ bridal web site and was absolutely blown away by the designs. Honestly, I looked through every picture on the entire site. Don't visit it unless you want to spend an hour in a state of serious beauty overdose. I mean it.

Here's some of my favorite gowns (including the lovely "Audrey-esque" model). Most of them wouldn't be considered "modest", but the design details are out-of-this-world, and there's lots of cute lace cover-up options.


The choice of unique fabrics is one of the most important when it comes to creating a fabulous wedding dress. A little bit of texture can go a long way and turn an ordinary gown into something special. Who says you have to stick to the regular silk and satin? The knit fabric on the first gown is what creates its appeal. And never underestimate the power of a well-draped dress. The brilliant use of the fabric in the second photo allows the simple sheath to stand on it's own, with only a necklace for an accent.


It's amazing how the details really and truly do make the dress. Check out the exquisitely beaded belt in the 1st look, the embroidery in the 2nd, the lace in 3rd, and lastly, the beading on the 4th gown creates the illusion of a gorgeous belt, gives shape to the dress and draws attention to the waist.

When further exploring the ROSA CLARÁ site, it seems that designer Jesús Del Pozo wanted to join in on the classic-actress inspired gowns. Don't these totally look like they're out of a Grace Kelly film?


Grace Kelly always reminds me of a pure, ivory goddess. :) So beautiful...


OK, so one last round of pictures (I couldn't be more enthusiastic about these dresses than if I were paid to advertise them, huh? ;). The Fiesta line is just delicious. Yum... :)


Make sure you check out the ROSA CLARÁ web site in it's entirety. I'm definitely going to keep this bookmarked for the future... :)
