Always in Style

The idea for my blog this morning came after revisiting Vera Wang's fall 2010 collection. The inspiration for her collection was based off the movie 'My Fair Lady' which just so happens to be my favorite movie of all time! So the idea popped in my head...let's compare our favorite style icons and see if today's bridal fashions rival the classics.






The twist Vera Wang had on this gown to resemble Audrey Hepburn in 'My Fair Lady' is fun and flirty. The play on colors with the black sash is not only modern, but classic as well!

Speaking of Audrey Hepburn, I looked for a gown to resemble her famous dress in the movie 'Sabrina'. Amsale created a design that modern day Audrey would have absolutely adored!






Moving on to the next Hollywood star is the oh so sexy and wildly famous Marilyn Monroe. The play on waves in this Monique Luhllier gown is youthful and elegant. If Marilyn today was a bit more conservative...this no doubt would have been her gown!





Now we come to Hollywood royalty. Grace Kelly's wedding dress is still thought of as one one the most iconic gowns ever worn. The Monique Luhllier Ivana gown radiates the same timeless, classic,beauty that Grace Kelly once wore.








Speaking of royalty, how can we not end with The Most iconic wedding gown in history? Diana's gown was regal, rich and all things princess. This Kenneth Pool gown may not be as over the top as the gown the princess once wore, but the dutchess satin material and embroidered detail make it suitable for a modern day royal affair!







So whether you want to look like a sophisticated beauty, play a little on the wild side with colors,be sexy yet conservative, or the princess you always knew you were, there is a gown for you! The good thing about wedding gowns, as you can see, is that they will always be a classic statement. They may get a modern twist from time to time, but the way you look on your Big Day will forever be in style.
