Glamour and sophistication define the Fall 2017 bridal collection by Stephen Yearick! Designer Leigh Price reinterprets trends towards over the top romance, femininity and vintage style. The new collection is created for the bride who has a passion for couture creativity and a distinct vision for her wedding dress.
The first dress was captivating, featuring many of our favorite elements: head to toe sparkle with delicate beadwork. We love the illusion neckline, particularly because it gives the bride uber flattering details such as cap sleeves and a modified, plunging V. The removable overskirt features a matching belt and artwork that ties it in perfectly to the bridal sheath underneath!
The Fall 2017 collection had several vintage inspired wedding dresses with artistic draping and glamorous beading. To our delight each one was more unique than the last. The first was the fully beaded halter neckline below and was mesmerizing – a statement gown that commanded everyone’s gaze!
Vintage Gatsby styling could be seen in the updated flapper dresses below. We especially love the sparkling organza layers and cold shoulder cape sleeves of the first gown!
The geometric beadwork of the next dress made us think of sparkling quartz crystals. The trendy tassels are luminescent, reflecting light with every step the bride makes. This incredibly modern interpretation of a flapper dress left us speechless – this gown is for the bride with an elevated sense of fashion who wants a truly unique wedding dress…
The vintage bride who is looking for more modest design, is sure to love the next gown. Her high back and rounded neckline make her extremely unique and the artwork on this dress is absolutely breathtaking! Featuring figure enhancing vintage beadwork and lace that is finished with 3-d elements, this bridal sheath is perfectly draped for a soft sex appeal with vintage glamour.
The combination of unique and classic elements on the embroidered lace A-Line below makes it the epitome of the Stephen Yearick aesthetic. Close up pictures of the bride show off the rich details of a traditional bridal gown that is timeless and romantic, while views of the gown in its entirety reveal vintage pleated tulle elements that make the dress iconic and fabulous. An unforgettable moment during our market appointment was when the model spinned around in this gown – we could not help but think of Ginger Rogers as the skirt danced around her ankles!
Belle epoque romance and femininity also made a huge statement in the floral prints of the Fall 2017 bridal collection, with palettes from soft pink to ruby red. These incredibly special bridal gowns feature artwork across various layers of the gown, for a subtle, three dimensional effect. We cannot help but imagine these canvas worthy gowns in a garden wedding or an old Irish castle…
For brides that prefer a more traditional color palette, any of the print gowns can be done in tones of off white, cream and ivory. The dimensional artwork and embroideries still make them spectacular, without the bold statement of color. Softer tones allow for a dreamier interpretation, like the gown below with layers of chantilly lace and 3-d florals over a barely there blush lining.
Designer Leigh Price has an incredible eye for detail in his designs. We love the choice of a plunging V neckline on the strapless sweetheart gown below, giving this sugar sweet confection the modern sex appeal brides covet today…
The next gown is guaranteed to take every wedding guest’s breath away! This embroidered, natural waist, ball gown, is the epitome of a modern day princess’ dream dress, with glamorous beaded short sleeves to frame the bride’s shoulders and collar bone and a train that is is begging to go down the grandest of aisles…
For the bride who loves the statement a princess worthy ball gown makes but doesn’t want to wear so much dress, the next bridal gown is absolute perfection! Head to toe detailed embroidery spills over a billowing skirt on a fit and flare silhouette that hugs the bride’s curves. The volume of the skirt has beautiful movement and can be made full enough to fulfill any princess fantasy the bride has! The low back is beautifully supported by a scalloped halter – a trending neckline which we saw across several collections at market for Fall 2017 brides…
The stunning beadwork and low illusion back make the next wedding dress a showstopper – she has all the signature glamour that has made the Stephen Yearick and Ysa Makino bridal collections favorites among brides the world over! When properly fitted to the bride, these sparkling beauties light up a room, making the bride the centerpiece of the wedding. Jus as with any dress in the collection, this gown can be made with a removable tulle train for a transitional look that is softer and more romantic as you go down the aisle!
The final two gowns are for the most regal of brides! First a beautifully encrusted sheer bodice is met at the natural waist by an ethereal asymmetrical skirt featuring layers of tulle and organza with beaded embroideries throughout. The illusion across the low v back and 3/4 sleeves make the dress modestly flirtatious and girly.
Second is a fully embroidered, satin trumpet wedding gown with beaded illusion sleeves, a fully embroidered illusion back and plunging V neckline. The matching removable satin train has silver floral and lattice artwork over the entire skirt which is like nothing we have ever seen before! This wedding gown epitomizes show stopping glamour and is sure to be the signature of the season!
