Haute Couture Wedding Style for the Non-Traditional Bride
They say it all starts with the dress, right? Nothing will define your wedding style more than that show-stopping fashion number you first appear before all your guests in. At the height of the couture bridal ladder is Livné White – based in Tel Aviv with dresses being worn worldwide on the daily. And for good reason! He’s got a high fashion meets boho chic approach that we are totally living for, and we promise you haven’t seen anything like these dramatic gowns.
Livné White is its own niche. The designer places structure on a pedestal, and TBH, we’re quite fond of the result. Figure is highlighted in the most flattering of ways as these dresses drape their owners in luxurious fabrics like silk satin, crepe, organza and Chantilly lace. Italian silks for days!
From Livné White: ‘EDEN’ is inspired by the innocence and fragility portrayed in the story of Genesis, along with the femininity and empowerment following the revelation of sexuality caused by Eve tasting the forbidden fruit.
Detachable off-the-shoulder straps and the most romantic combination of silk + crepe in the Cherry gown. Breathtaking!
Extraordinarily, this theme translates across a variety of designs in the collection in one fell swoop. You could equate one to the 80s era and the next to Victorian chic, and the collection still makes sense as a cohesive whole.
High slits forever! We’re pretty enamored by the asymmetrical draping met with a sophisticated corset bodice in the Jackie gown. Sexy, yet demure.
YAS. Elle is everything we love about mid-century Hollywood glamour, with a high neck silhouette, open back and swooped fabric just brushing the waist.
Kinda like a wrap dress, the Jamie asymmetrical dress coat-look seems like the perfect number for modern brides who want a clean look for their fall/winter weddings.
A few of the things we love about these designs are:
- Off the shoulder bodices
- Intricate embroidery
- Sleeve detailing
- Sexy high slits
- Vintage looks
- A pant suit!!
Celine is totally unique! How often do you see pleat details or drop-shoulder necklines on their own, much less together? Go on, we’ll wait 😉
This year in wedding fashion, it’s all about the sleeves. Which makes the Rita gown a total winner.
From the sweeping tulle skirt to the corset lace bodice… someone’s gonna need to pinch us please. The Alina is unreal!
Now if these gorgeous images haven’t already made you weak at the knees, then buckle down because we have some juice to spill. In the 8 years Alon Livné has been creating these rather eloquent designs, such celebrities as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Naomi Campbell have signed up for custom looks. We are shooketh!
So if you consider yourself a lover of the sophisticated vogue (a trendsetter rather than rule follower) then pop on over to Livné White to find the stockist closest to you. Because these gowns call for a runway preview with your bridal squad.
