Inbal Dror

Hello and Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas. If you are anything like me then you too will be regretting the vat of wine, tins of roses and slabs of cheese consumed over the past week! Its back to the diet and exercise grindstone now or I'll never fit into that gorgeous bridesmaids dress for Becky's wedding in May.

So to distract me from the tedium of lettuce leaves and green tea I have some absolutely stunning dresses to show you today. Thank you to my lovely friend Clare for bringing the incredible designs of Inbal Dror to my attention.

Trailing skirts and super low backs are a running theme throughout this Israeli designer's collection. Every single dress exudes contemporary elegance and each would make the perfect gown for a modern bride.

The pearl draped straps on this dress are simply divine. So far I cannot find a stockist outside of Israel but if anyone knows otherwise please please let me know!

Belt and Braces

Well ok, not so much the braces...but I have to say I'm loving some of the belted style wedding dresses around at the moment. If you're looking for a more on-trend look but don't want something completely out there, then belts and sashes can bring a modern twist to a traditional dress. Check out some of my favourite below...

Matching the belt colour to your overall colour scheme is one option but I love the contrast of black on white on this Modern Trousseau dress (left below). The simple and delicate beading on this Rosa Clara dress (right below) adds a touch of sparkle to the classic A-line gown.

For a glamorous 50's inspired look try this Stephanie Allin wide-belted dress (left below) which believe it or not has pockets! Now thats a novel idea! The black lace band on this Littlewoods dress (right below) gives it a subtle vintage feel.

Belts can work just as well with shorter styles, like on these Charlotte Balbier and Jasmine Bridal dresses:

The pretty pink bow belt highlights the empire line of this stunning Justin Alexander dress (below left) while the Enzoani dress (below right) comes with a choice of either a ribbon or beaded sash.

If you've already bought your dress and are looking to bling it up a little then try Etsy. I found these beautiful floral belts and embellished sashes which could add a bespoke twist to your gown.
