When it comes to high fashion, there is nothing higher than Haute Couture. It is the cream of the crop, the best of the best and the most opulent in the business. To become part of this elite and exclusive club, brands must adhere to the strictest rules and maintain exceptionally high standards. To me, Haute Couture is the Michael Angelo of the fashion world. Every dress that cascades down the runway is an exquisite piece of art. Lavish, magnificent and with attention to detail that is second to none. While some of the designs are a bit extreme, it is so easy to take inspiration from them to create something just as beautiful, however slightly more subtle. With that in mind while looking through the Fall/Winter 2016 bridal trends, I have matched up some of our stunning in store dresses with their Haute Couture counterpart.
