Wedding gowns have been a part of the fashion world for centuries. Luxury designers like Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang have made millions off of what some call “the best day of your life.” During this special day, a traditional bride is supposed to look proper and dignified while sharing her love with her spouse and family.
However, VALLEY knows better. All brides, no matter what gender identity, have an internal thirst to express themselves. Your wedding day can be however wild or simplistic you want it to be. It certainly doesn’t hurt if your gown expresses your own style, and also serves a unique purpose.
Becoming a Bouquet
Why have costly flower arrangements at the ceremony, when you can wear them? This bridal look is the Macie bustier paired with the Rory pant.
Ivory lining and organza create this flowing array of flower petals. If unconventional wedding attire speaks to you, this should definitely be on your list.
Never mind the wedding location, spring is blooming all around with the Nessia gown from the Mira Zwillinger SS 2024 collection. This sweetheart neckline gown is draped with lace and adorned with various florals.
Let Them Eat Cake
Long before the tale of Cinderella, young girls dreamt of lavish and larger-than-life gowns. With the Gina gown from Galia Lahav, reality brings to life those very fantasies. With its French lace embroidery and tulle skirt, there’s no need to lose your glass slipper over searching for another gown.
Marie Antoinette would’ve been ecstatic over this one. The Emory gown from Danielle Frankel hits every mark a distinctive ball gown must.
Its silk, flowing organza skirt rains down from the sharp boned sections of the bustier. Not to mention the belt that further accentuates the waist. If someone wore this to their wedding, and there wasn’t a magnificent cake brawl, VALLEY would be disappointed.
Escaping In Style
Need to make a quick getaway? This is the two piece Freya TC2332 bridal outfit from Tania Olsen Bridal.
Both parts of the pantsuit are made of lightweight material, being that lace constructs the corset and crepe fabric cascades down the pants. When put together, this look is made for calling a quick taxi or jumping on the back of a motor vehicle.
Now if you decide you’re marrying the wrong person, and you’re in favor of stirring up some drama, this gown is meant for you. This is the Danielle dress, and it is anything but simple.
Don’t let the simplicity fool you, anyone who wears this on their special day will definitely stand out (besides their choice in timing, of course). With its mikado fabric, and corset with lace detail, who wouldn’t want to see this dress turn to run?
Frolicking in a Field
A great wedding day should end with something sublime like strolling through a field with your beloved. This is the Scarlet gown from Danielle Frankel. The silk wool flows down from the chest in a pleated fashion, and each of the floral appliqués are hand sewn.
This sleek look is created by the one and only Angeline slip dress. With its lightweight fabric, it’s clearly made for a frolic in the nearby flower field. Simplistic gowns are sometimes the most dramatic, and with this shape, who wouldn’t appreciate its elegance?
