Avant-Garde Wedding Gowns

The Yumi Katsura Fall Collection Offers Wildly Bizarre Bridal Looks

— October 14, 2015 — Lifestyle
The Yumi Katsura Fall '16 collection isn't for any ordinary bride. This heavily textured and playfully patterned collection speaks to the bride with a lot of edge and charisma.

Any bridal fashion fan knows that Japanese designer Yumi Katsura is definitely one to shake things up on the bridal runway. This season, the eccentric designer presented a collection of various wedding looks ranging from absolutely wild to tastefully tame. The collection starts with avant-garde gowns bursting with color and pattern before moving into the traditional white gowns which are riddled with texture. The modern styles include lace peplum, ornate embellishment, draped sleeves and exaggerated ruffles.

Fit for the daring bride, the Yumi Katsura Fall '16 collection is a definite showstopper.
