Manolo for the Brides

A month ago, I posted about old Punk Rock Bride and lamented the fact that the newest of the new Punk Rock Bride wedding dresses weren’t online yet. And then just recently, I received an email from Meredith Vey at Punk Rock Bride (founder Stephanie Ward’s business partner) letting me know that their 2010 dresses were finally on the web site! Yay! That means I finally get to share them with you – and here they are:

Silk brocade with a silk chiffon come together here – with a detail I love (bustline ruching) that just wouldn’t look right on moi (I think). I like how it’s just girly enough, as in there’s something a little casual about it. Could be the lack of gems and other “stuff”?

Truthfully, this one (with silk georgette, silk chiffon and beautiful hand-knitted overlay) doesn’t do it for me, but I’m anti-halter top in general because I feel like they make everyone, no matter how perky-breasted, look saggy. But with the right bra, maybe?

Looooooove this. Silk wool and pockets – I am so there. Except my bosom is not so there. I think my one issue with all the Punk Rock Bride wedding dresses is that they’re definitely for the small chest set. Which is fine, we can’t all get everything we want.

Incorporating a traditional double-faced satin with silk chiffon and a hand embroidered beaded tulle, this wedding dress manages to combine disparate elements in an interesting way. Definitely for the hipper bride, I think, and one who is not afraid to have her gown’s bodice look a bit like lingerie.

Finally, we have silk georgette, silk chiffon, and a hand embroidered beaded tulle in what seems like the most traditional wedding dress in the bunch! Still, it isn’t at all busy, and what’s fun is that it’s actually a two-piece combo with the dress itself and a separate corset so you could use the corset again in the future.
