Romona Keveza is one of our favorite designers and her dresses just fly off the racks.
Known for luxurious fabrics and excellent construction one of the best things about Romona Keveza dresses is that they don’t ever lose sight of the fun and whimsy of being in love.
She is a leading designer for bridal, evening and formalwear but one of her best lines is her couture bridal lines. While these dresses are priced for only the fair few because couture gowns are specifically made to order for every customer, it is nice to take notes on this show to help with your shopping and learning what you like.
The main theme of this collection was luscious volume and understated sexiness. Bodices were finished with microdraped tulle to give them a soft look but to also highlight a curvy figure. Flattering necklines were where it was at with sweet off-the shoulder or one-shouldered gowns that show off a bride’s best assets: her neckline and shoulders! If you want to feel radiant on your wedding day but want to keep it appropriate for a large and diverse audience these dresses are perfect.
They had a playful nature with an unannounced sex appeal. The silhouettes of the dresses veered towards cute instead of sultry–there were one or two mermaids and one body skimming satin A-Line but the majority of the collection was flouncy full-skirts and swinging A-Lines. There was some delicate applique work or lace overlay but for the most part the designs favored elegant construction over embroidery or glitz which is the typical Romona Keveza way. Also particular to Romona Keveza, pay attention to the details here. There were bedazzled belts and buttoned backs but though they look run of the mill with Romona Keveza you know that they are anything but. A closer look at the backs of the dresses shows daring draping or pretty accouterments that could be otherwise overlooked by a different designer. The show itself was a dream wedding. Held at the iconic St. Regis hotel with up-beat but classical music and one gorgeous model after another we were half expecting a champagne fountain at the end of the runway! While these exact couture pieces might be out of your range, Romona Keveza is a great designer for classic construction and a no-frills attitude towards your very special day.
