Ralph & Russo
Meghan Markle favorite Ralph & Russo – who designed the Duchess of Sussex's engagement photo shoot evening gown – closed their Art Deco and 1930s-inspired collection with a romantic wedding dress in lace. The back of the long-sleeved dress was just as feminine, with a bustle bow on the back of the skirt cascading into the floor-sweeping train.
Georges Hobeika
Yes, brides can be sexy! Georges Hobeika proved the point by having Araya Hargate walk the runway in this sparkling nude wedding dress with hand-embroidered crystals strategically placed on a sheer bodice. The designer's couture collection is rooted in "a profound love of fauna and flora", and "captivating, seductive and passionate" birds of paradise.
