The bridal gowns had a feeling of soft, floating clouds ever so gently covering the models' skin with lace, silk and other soft materials. The look of the collection was glamorous. Some wedding dresses were accented with Ostrich feathers, flower appliqués; and in one instance, a hat which had a veil.

These wedding dresses are ideal for a woman getting married on the riviera. They present a mix of lightness and confidence that blends perfectly with travel, indulgence and sex appeal. One bold piece is a Capri Blanc lace blazer, bralette and pants set. This break from the traditional dress or skirt is mesmerizing. The Kennedy Bridal Maxi has spaghetti straps with an open back for the woman who wants to show off her toned shoulders, arms and back. The closing look was the Mademoiselle Bridal Gown. This is more of a traditional wedding dress, with its A-line silhouette, sequins, adjustable straps and long veil. There is a wide mix of attractive options for a woman looking to get married in a stylish dress that's less traditional.
