Roses, poppies and gardenias are among some of the most popular flowers that are incorporated as embellishments in bridal collections but the Zuhair Murad Bridal Fall 2019 collection spotlights the lotus flower as a symbol of purity and devotion. Instead of featuring traditional floral details, the gowns embrace flowing details that reference the flower's long stems and leaves, as well as the water lily pads that are often found floating nearby.
As well as offering a modern take on floral bridal fashion, the Zuhair Murad collection integrated practical details for transitioning the looks for different parts of the day. Examples of this include convertible styles like the elegant A-line dress styled with a sheer cape.
