The Spring 2012 Couture shows in Paris had us head over heels for pretty white dresses in elegant lace and whisper-sheer fabrics. This look would be perfect for your bridesmaids, contrasted against a dramatic couture wedding gown. Look for short, 50's style silhouettes, illusion necklines and beautiful sleeve detailing as seen in Elie Saab & Valentino. To break up the all-white palette, choose mismatched gowns in soft laces and floral embroidery. 

Accessorise with white or nude heels, and finish the look with neutral makeup... or a bold red lip!
