My husband and I just returned from a week in Spain – Madrid, to be exact – where he was traveling for business and I was happily tagging along. We both loved the city – it has a wonderful energy and chic feel to it. We ate delicious food and drank more than our fair share of sangria. The people were very friendly and accommodating with my terrible Spanish (lucky for me my husband is fluent), and when it was time to come home, we were sad to do so.
We were lucky to have time to sight-see together, and while en route to Puerta del Sol, we happened upon the Pronovias flagship store, the pride of Spain’s bridal industry. You can immediately sense the glamour and drama found in their gowns. It is truly a remarkable place. So I thought I’d dedicate this post to some of their most stunning designs.
For 2011, Pronovias created seven collections, each with its own personality, to reflect the kind of bride who would wear each dress.
Fashion contains “very thin and light wedding gowns, both in fluid, sheer style and mermaid cut.” Tirso, from the Fashion collection …
City has “beautiful and sensually tight designs.”
Glamour contains a “wide range of bridal gowns” with bold features and contrasts. Alfa, from the Glamour collection …
Pronovias Ball Gowns have “bare shoulders, tight corsets, and formidable skirts.” Felisa, from the Ball Gowns collection …
Dream “recreates a world of dreams and pure fantasy.” Frandula, from the Dream collection …
Style‘s gowns are covered in lustrous lace. Festin, from the Style collection …
And last but not least (this is actually my favorite collection!), Costura contains the most “creative, imperial, classical and romantic silhouettes.”
