‘The White Dress’ was on everyone’s minds today, as Kate Middleton married her prince in a stunning ivory satin gazar dress with Chantilly lace designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.
A bespoke, hand-made McQueen gown is just a dream for anyone but a princess and besides, for my future potential nuptials, Lanvin Blanche has won my heart.
Last year, I discovered the Lanvin Blanche collection at Net-a-Porter and fell in love with the romantic, feminine dresses with their soft lines, exquisite draping and sumptuous fabrics.
This summer marks 100 years since Jeanne Lanvin created the first wedding dress for her couture house in Paris. Here’s a preview of the key looks from the Lanvin Blanche Summer 2011 collection…
From the Lanvin Blanche Summer 2011 collection, we can expect beautiful bridal dresses in greige silk tulle, silk satin, mastic radzimir and duchess satin, embellished with tulle flowers, intricate lace, crystals or pompons.
The iconic white trouser suit, as worn by Bianca Jagger on her wedding day, has been reworked by Alber Elbaz.
The ecru smoking suit features sharp yet relaxed tailoring and Lanvin’s signature flower-embroidered lapels.
