A season of poetic femininity, Spring ’19 was rooted in a bohemian spirit, an air of naturalness and old-world romanticism. Designers found new ways to explore vintage design elements as a homage to the yesteryears, reimagined for the modern woman.

Spring ’19 was a dramatic shift from the simplicity we’ve seen in recent seasons, dreaming up textural, bohemian looks for the non-traditional bride. Designers explored unique fabrications and techniques such as intricate laser-cut chiffon, paneled crochet and voluminous textural tiers adorning silhouettes of flowing silks, dramatic necklines and billowing sleeves inspired by nomadic gypsies and the Victorian era. Modernized for the contemporary bride, these design elements were subtle and restrained, holding an underlining naturalness and freedom as we enter the lighter months.

This season, Spring collections forgo florals for a moodier, more sophisticated femininity. Designers explored the dark and light side of romantic design with midnight gowns by the likes of Alexander McQueen, Valentino and Zuhair Murad, contrasted with the more dreamy soft pastel palettes of Christian Dior, Alberta Ferretti and Ulla Johnson. Silk satins and chiffons graced styles with a real 00s simplicity as halternecks, slip styles, plunging necklines, metallics and bias cuts made a comeback in place of the more decadent textural elements that dominated bridal this season.

Spring’s vacation looks had us dreaming of faraway islands, swept up in the tropics in vintage crochet, broderie anglaise and sheer dresses, layered with string bikinis, beaded trinkets and bold gold jewelry as a nod to the hippies of the 70’s. Mini dresses were met with volume while more slimline floor-sweeping silk maxis weightlessly floated down the runway. Designers styled with tousled textured waves or wet slicked roots to finish off the holiday mood.
