I’ve recently seen the Justin Alexander black bridal jacket (see below) on a catwalk, and it was seriously stunning – it billowed behind the model as she strutted her stuff and had strong Victorian heroine romantic overtones. There’s something about the contrast between black and white that is seriously dramatic. Since seeing that jacket, I’ve noticed that black accents seem to be popping up all over the place in bridal fashion, and features heavily in Queen of Couture Vera Wang’s latest collections. I was originally a little ambivalent about it, but actually, I’ve been won over. Black accents officially rock!

I saw a dress very much like this on the catwalk at the bridal trade show I went to, and was grateful for the darkness and loud music that smothered my giggling. In fact some of the dresses were so bad, I was very keen to share, but sadly I cannot for the life of me find the designer’s website – not helped by the fact that I don’t speak their language so Google is not helping. Nonetheless, one of the dresses was very similar to this stunner. For some reason, being able to see a bride’s underwear is tres chic for some. My mother would NOT approve.
