Wedding dress inspiration from Paris Haute Couture Week

The couture runways are typically awash with aisle-appropriate, ethereal gowns.

This season things were a little different.

While there were definitely a few uber feminine princess gowns on show, the runways appeared to champion an altogether kookier bride.

From Schiaparelli’s dress resembling rising clouds of white silk to Alexis Mabille’s super exaggerated collars and Valentino’s warrior headdresses, this years bridal options embraced femininity in all its brilliant forms.

Here are some alternative wedding dress ideas to consider for your big day:

The jazzy jumpsuit

Zuhair Murad AW19 (Imaxtree)

Whether you are brave enough to walk down the aisle in this one is very much up to you. However, if you are looking for something to change into for the second half of your wedding party, what could be more fabulous?

If you like it then be sure to put some bling on it.

Short is sweet (particularly when paired with pink)

Sergeenko AW19 (Imaxtree)

Fancy getting your pins out on your big day? Why the confetti not? From Ralph & Russo's mini coat dress to Sergeenko's draped micro mini and Alexia Mabille's diamante button-encrusted tuxedo dress, there were plenty of leg-baring bridal options in Paris this season.

Pair your upper thigh-skimming wedding dress with fushcia stilettos for ultimate badass bride points.

You do you babes

It's your day and if you fancy rolling down that aisle, then why ever not? Finding a wedding car to fit might be tricky, but that is simply not the point.
