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.

Luxury womenswear designer Rita Vinieris presented her Rivini and Alyne Fall 2017 bridal collections during this past New York Bridal Fashion week in October. She presented both collection with a runway fashion show. There were thirty-four bridal gowns shown in all, with seventeen from the Rivini collection and another seventeen from Alyne. The combination of the lines offered classical, understated wedding dresses; as well as bolder, sexier options.

Two bridal dresses from the Rivini collection that really stand out are "Irresistible" and "Affinity". The Irresistible gown is very sexy. It is a diaphanous beaded ballgown with long sleeves and a layered skirt. This gown commands confidence, and the intricate beading is captivating. The Affinity gown is subdued and pretty. Its designs is of graphic rose lace sheath with flutter sleeves worn with a light tissue organza overskirt.

One dress from the Alyne that appears understated from a distance is "Adorable". However, the high quality of ribbon lace pattern design is very apparent up close. The shape is elegant and the detailing is stunning. Even though the "Cherish" ballgown is relatively simple with a plunging V neck, open back and crystal belt; when matched with the Rita Vinieris layered pleated tulle cape; it creates bold and dramatic look. More images can be view at Rivini and Alyne by Rita Vinieris Fall 2016.
