Rami Al Ali Bridal Collection 2010
Rami Al Ali’s new bridal collection for 2010 is dreamy, romantic and rich with details, in a meticulously balanced manner, offering the bride a range of options from classical elegance to modern cuts of western touch. Cuts came multiple, ranging from firm, hips wrapping, focusing on the thin carved waist line, to big voluminous gowns, yet light and easy to move around with; adding an exclusive Victorian influence on the bride.
Embroidery and crystal work is focused on the upper part of the dresses, where the borders are accessorized with details of tulle and crystals to enhance the refinement of the dresses. Some of the gowns were immensely embroidered with beadwork and crystals, and covered then with layers of transparent tulle to emphasize depth, dimension, and intangibility on the design.
Colours are gradient from off-white to pearly shades, mixing embroidery with silver and beige revealing the royal look on the final design. Veils vary from classical flowing fully on the dress to multi layered ones with silk edges or lace studded and embroidered. Rami’s bride for this season is affluent, soft, delicate and dreamy; Oriental with hints of royal western look. -

Lindsay Fleming 2010 Bridal Collection
The ‘Roaring Twenties’, the decade of the bath tub gin, the model T Ford, The Jazz Singer, and a celebration of life and youth after the dark war years. It was the age of the flapper, and the Charleston, the Bunny Hug and the Kickaboo, late night parties, and clubbing to the music of Jelly Roll Morton. Skirts shortened, breasts were flattened, and waistlines were slung on the hip. This was the decade of Art Deco and Cubism, and couture houses of the time livened up their designs by incorporating the art scene into their clothing.
This thrilling, care free period in history is the inspiration for our stunning Autumn 2009 collection of historical gowns, due to be premiered at the Scottish Wedding Show in September. Influenced by the creative genius’s of Coco Channel, Paul Poiret, and the surrealist inspired Elsa Schiaparelli, these gowns not only will transport you back to the days of Joan Crawford, Gloria Swanson and Clara Bow, but will bring out the hidden Greta Garbo in every girl.
