Nostalgic Bridal Attire

The Houghton Fall Collection Boasts Style and Detail From the 1970s

The Houghton Fall 2016 collection carters to the bride with a love for 70s style. This ethereal collection features all the delicate and edgy details that made the era so fashionable.

Presented during New York Bridal Fashion Week, the Houghton Fall 2016 collection features 28 bridal looks inspired by 70s style. There is no sight of a traditional wedding dress within this collection, instead the Houghton Fall 2016 collection offers horsehair-lined fringe skirts, blue sequined looks and bohemian floral gowns that are showcased alongside turtleneck sheath gowns, shawls and glamorous fur coats.

While the 70s are having a huge moment in the Ready-To-Wear realm, the Houghton Fall 2016 collection proves this style is just as covetable among modern brides.
