LOOKS
TO INSPIRE
Combining elements of the past, fashion designers have
created dresses that are a true testament of time. Co-
loured gowns, full skirts, and delicate adornment bring
the legendary wedding dress to a new level. Princess-style
gowns are at the height of romantic allure; they contin-
ue to influence the wedding ritual. In the ancient times,
when fabrics were hand spun, the quality of the mate-
rial showed off the royal status of the person. Blue was
considered to be the colour of fortune, faithfulness and
prosperity. Perhaps this is why its resurgence in the wed-
ding scene is so natural. Other bright colours have their
roots from ancient traditions and are still used today.
Indian and Asian brides wear gold and red to symbol-
ize luck and prosperity. This fusion of cultures, customs,
and haute couture has brought the wedding gown to its
ultimate beauty.
