The Paris wedding fashion shows just wrapped up and the surprise of the season is black wedding dresses for Spring 2008. Black wedding dresses were featured in the collections of Max Chaoul and Creations Bochet. One couture designer - Cymbeline actually featured four of these dresses on the Paris runway.
The most spectacular, according to a blogger at Alibaba who was at the Paris shows were the four dresses by Cymbelene. One dress looks like just a traditional A line dress with a prom style bodice and long veil only everything is in black. This gives the bride a strangley Spanish feel. Another one of the Cymbeline dresses is more forties and features a heart shape décolleté with ruching across the bodice. This look is complimented by blacking netting over the bride’s face. Another is a youthful halter style that you would normally expect to be done in a color like pink, but done in black.
Perhaps the most dramatic of the black wedding dresses is Cymbeline’s black and white couture wedding dress which layers twenty frills of white silk with black netting so it looks like the details are cascading down the side of the A line skirt. The effect is very Tuxedo in flair and definitely not the dress to wear if you are a shrinking violet.
