As usual it was a color fest at this year’s Emmys. We saw some bridal appropriate gowns in white, beige and blush, dresses by bridal designers (hello Vera Wang, Ines Di Santo, Monique Lhuillier, Marchesa), and gowns in colors that we’d love see translated into bridal confections.

Enjoy, Raya

We’re not talking corseted-back gowns; we’re looking at the front!

Most wedding gowns with corset-style bodices aren’t meant to achieve the benefits of traditional corsets. However, many mimic the shape, and therefore femininity. We spy several dreamy corset-style dresses in the Spring 2012 bridal collections. Some designers are even going the extra mile with embellished bodices. Monique Lhuillier really took charge with a collection chalk-full of boned corset-style bodices; Ines Di Santo, too.

Is a bridal gown with a corset-style bodice too bold of a statement for the average bride?

Love, Raya
