Wedding Gallery

Spring is traditionally known as the season of blooming flowers, bright sunshine, and nice weather. It is also traditionally known as the wedding season – and for good reason. The pretty, newly blossomed works of nature make the perfect backdrop for wedding portraits; the mid-range temperatures allow both bride and groom to be flexible with their wedding wear, meaning they can focus on style rather than weather-bound comfort; and there is a general feeling of happiness associated with the bright colours and increased sunshine found after winter.

With the onset of spring in Australia, the latest wedding couture is out in full-force. This season’s wedding wear sees more metallic-based shades and a collection of floral embroidered gowns. A higher hem-line has also become more common, and dress-shapes like trumpet gowns and column gowns are in.

For soon-to-be brides, ready-made dresses are always a feasible option. But for the fashion-savvy and beauty-smart, personally tailored dresses are the only option. Silk fabric is the most common type of wedding wear material, and dresses can be accentuated and embellished with various types of laces and beads. For wedding dresses to genuinely look good and last long, silk of the highest quality should be obtained.

The wedding would not be complete without having the entire bridal party in high fashion. The bridesmaids’ dresses are usually the second most important piece of clothing that must be taken into consideration. This spring, the wedding colour themes are pastel-based with splashes of brightness. Like the bridal gowns, bridesmaids’ dresses have a shorter hemline and a more flowing-type design.

Melbourne designer fabric store d’Italia has the latest spring fashion material for bridal and wedding couture. Its range of the season’s newest prints and colours are directly imported from Italy and France, thus ensuring fabric of the highest quality. A selection of metallic-based shades for brides seeking a sleeker look is available, as well as an assortment of pastel-based fabrics for the more demure bridesmaid.

Dressmakers specialising in the latest wedding fashion are critical in the creation of the perfect wedding apparel. d'Italia offers one of Melbourne’s most selective wedding couture seamstress referral services. In-store recommendations and advice on the best fit and designs can also be found.
