Informal Bridal Couture

The Houghton Bride FW 2015 Line is Relaxed Yet Upscale

— December 11, 2014 — Fashion
The Houghton Bride FW 2015 collection is remarkably relaxed despite its upscale detailing. For the bride looking to cross the thin line between a laid back look and chic, high end couture, this series will certainly be one worth consulting.

According to designer Katherine Polk, these pieces were designed for brides in search of simple, sexy and timeless pieces. These motifs are seen in the line which features off-the-shoulder dresses, elongated ivory pantsuits and wide legged trousers. The collection is far from typical, swapping out excessively feminine looks for androgynous and sometimes masculine additions.

Those in search of a traditional ceremony will also be able to borrow from Houghton Bride's classic elements. Long flowing fabrics and billowing sleeves certainly incorporate quintessential bridal touches.
Trend Themes
1. Androgynous Bridal Wear - Design relaxed yet upscale androgynous bridal wear, incorporating masculine additions to appeal to modern, non-traditional brides.
2. Timeless Wedding Attire - Create simple and timeless bridal wear featuring off-the-shoulder dresses, elongated ivory pantsuits and wide legged trousers, offering an alternative to excessively feminine looks.
3. Bridal Separates - Develop the trend of bridal separates offering more options for brides to mix and match pieces to their liking, such as Houghton Bride's ivory pantsuits and billowing sleeves.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - Design innovative bridal wear for modern brides that challenges traditional female-focused bridal couture with androgynous and classic elements.
2. Retail - Market bridal separates as a new category within bridal wear retail, allowing customization for brides to create their desired wedding day look.
3. Event Planning - Include androgynous and timeless bridal wear as a trend to suggest for non-traditional, modern weddings, as an alternative to traditional wedding looks.
