Berta Bridal's F/W 16 collection has gone for bolder silhouettes, more dramatic skirts and even more daring designs, pushing the boundaries of bridal design as we know it.
Never one to shy away from showing skin, Berta this time looked inwards for her inspiration, focusing on delicate laces, shiny stones and soft chiffon. With emphasised patterns and daring edges, the latest Berta Bridal collection comes to life with her focus on the materials she used to create them.
While bigger skirts have been brought into this exquisite collection, Berta has certainly not left behind her signature fitted silhouettes. A fitted bodice is present in each design, delicately crafted to accentuate the bride's naturally beautiful shape, while the breathtaking skirts, sleeves and individual designs lend themselves to bolder effects to give that unique wow factor.
Though unique and stunning in their own right, Berta's designs weren't far from the latest trends, with stunning off the shoulder gowns as well as the classic Berta plunging neckline.
The ornate detail from the high quality beading and materials is something to behold. The level of intricate design is breathtaking, creating truly magical gowns.
This collection has more angular and geometric designs, resulting in cutting edge creations and beautiful illusions that complement the bride and bring to the forefront her most stunning features. We adore this chiffon outlined gown with off the shoulder maiden-style sleeve.
For the modern bride, her mid-length feathered gown would be ideal. The detailed sleeves give an unbelievable sparkle, while the open back gives this gown that sensual signature from Berta's style.
One of the most unusual and show-stopping designs from this collection has to be the feathered column gown with diamond cut outs down the skirt. It brings some of the most extreme designs into one stunning dress, pushing the boundaries of wedding gowns the world over. Doused in sequins and outlined in light, feathered ruffles, this gown has a lot to adore about it.
