The illustrious Spanish design powerhouse Pronovias is celebrating 50 years of iconic wedding dress design this year, and true-to-form they’re marking their significant semi-centennial with yet another collection of complete show-stoppers. Stunning French and Chantilly lace take centre stage in the 2015 Atelier collection, with simple silhouettes made spectacular with full, unique patterns and dreamy appliqué design. Sculpted bustier corsets bring a hint of modernity to thirties style sheaths, while the complete contemporary bride is catered for with an array of sumptuous separates. Pronovias continues to prove why they’re one of the world’s top wedding dress design houses with their 2015 collection which showcases their unparalleled ability to marry modern elegance with Old Hollywood luxury to create a gown for almost any style of bride.
Unique, unusual features such as fringing, heavily beaded bodices, tattoo-like embroidered sleeves and plunging necklines (front AND back!) demonstrate Pronovias’ fashion-forward thinking, while their signature silhouettes (Pronovias can pull off a princess style like now other) retain a hint of what makes Pronovias gowns truly timeless. Tulle is artfully used through masterful layering of sleeves and skirts and more subtly with simple flourishes on necklines and bodices. Muted pastels make an appearance too, bringing an utterly romantic motif to the entire collection.
