This week I had a chance to view the beautiful gowns from the Pronovias 2013 range, and luckily for me I had my lovely and talented friend, Britt Spring on hand to document the stunning range.

Apart from being utterly gorgeous – the great thing about all the dresses is that there was a style to suit every figure.  With the range encompassing not just traditional styles in terms of lace finishing and , there were edgy, fashion forward style influences in terms of cut and texture.  In addition the lightweight of the fabrics used made much of the new range perfect for destination weddings.

Despite being a wedding blogger – I am still a neophyte when it comes to all of the details in terms of the dress (but I’m learning!), the great thing is that  Peta Hunt, the Editor-at-large of You and Your Wedding Magazine, was on hand to talk us through the collection.  The dresses as Peta Hunt said are ‘Substantial without being heavy’, considering that the gorgeous bride will be in the dress all day, the dress has to be a creation that is not only aesthetically captivating  (despite the big day being a day of dreams) practicality is an important factor too.

Another point mentioned by Peta, is that the great thing about the dresses is  the inclusion of peplum shapes and trains;  really celebrate the female form, and without being vulgar lovelies make the rear view rather attractive. I loved the various textures;  I think feathers and lace textures are going to be massive trends going forward – the great thing is that textures are a great way of melding the old with the new; providing a fresh twist on design standards.
