Bridal inspiration from Valentino 2012

Valentino Couture 2012

Italian design – there’s nothing like it for style, trend-setting and downright beautiful dresses. As we’re big fans of Italian anything (food, holidays, destination weddings…the list goes on), we’ve decided to feature one of the Italian labels, with a look at Valentino wedding dresses and couture pieces for 2012. Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri have captured a feminine look, in no way over the top or obviously structured. The demure high collar and opaque cover-ups create really delicate looks, while more glamourous pieces create a very different bride.

Drop- and tiered-waists create a long look, reminiscent of 1920s-style fashion and embellishments such as frills and applique (like on this white couture dress below) are just stunning.
