How Not To Be A Basic Bride

The best way to make a standout statement? Don’t be a basic bride and add a dash of cool-girl edge to your feminine ensemble via Ralph & Russo’s SS16 Couture Collection. The collection features vibrant violet, embroidered capes, sheer fabrics, and pop-out peplums to inspire and, when paired with an elegant silhouette, looks utterly modern and fresh. So whether you’re floating down the aisle in cascading blush ruffles or strutting, hand on hip in an all-white two-piece, all eyes (and cameras) will be on you!

Scroll through our top picks and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
