Dramatic floral headpieces, whimsical
dresses with plunging necklines and
minimal looks are the hottest looks for
brides and the bridal party this spring
and summer season.
The recent Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Joburg (MBFWJ17) runways were full of bridal
inspiration. Here is a breakdown of some
of the looks we love.
Sophisticated Whimsy

A perfect fit for a sophisticated
bride, this structured chiffon
dress, above left, with a playful

does not have to conform to any
anyone’s opinion but her own. Picture Simon Deiner SDR/Photo

Avant Garde Crowns and Tiaras

and the fashion-forward. Make
