Wedding Dress Tuesdays: Christos Spring 2012 Wedding Collection

Jan 24, 2012 by Pretty Clever Bride

A Christos wedding collection is usually know for soft tulles, feathery organzas, delicate laces, and a sophisticated romanticism. The Christos Spring 2012 wedding collection presents a radical departure. The silhouettes are sterner and more serious, displaying a formal elegance.

The Christos Spring 2012 wedding collection features heavy, structured satins and embroidered silk organza, providing more structure than those typical tulles and organzas. “Old Hollywood” charm is a popular concept for wedding collections (Just see Jenny Packham’s Spring 2012 wedding collection), but this Christos collection is from a different Hollywood than the drapey, romantic one that phrase usually connotes. This collection is more a fifties era Hollywood when ladies where ladies, more prim than those raw temptresses of 40′s era Hollywood. Think of that period when women were butressessed in their feat-of-engineering undergarments and everything was just so all the time.

Brides interested in the Christos Spring 2012 wedding collection would be wise to take note of the runway show styling. Too much- too much makeup, too many accessories, too much bling – would push there designs from dramatic to over the top. Simple loose hair, bare necklines and earlobes, and neutral makeup are in order to let these structural, couture-ish wedding dresses shine.
