Following on from New York Bridal Week, this week we bring you all the fabulousness from Barcelona Bridal Week. Barcelona Bridal Week is a three day event of wedding dress heaven which kicked off on May 8th. Both Spanish and International fashion designers launched their new bridal collections and we have been dying to bring you coverage from the runways. Shows which we looked out for include the much loved brands like Rosa Clara and Pronovias along with the new 2013 bridal collections of Jesus Peiro, Victorio & Lucchino, YolanCris and Manuel Mota.

Starting us off with a bang we have the Spanish design duo of Victorio & Lucchino. Lovers of the feminine shape, the Victorio & Lucchino bridal gowns exuded an ethereal elegance with soft floaty fabrics and beautiful silhouettes.

The Victorio & Lucchino style is purely Spanish in origin and the designers are particularly inspired by the spirit of Andalucia in the southern region of Spain where the team work and live. The collections regularly feature heavy embroidery and weighty lace yet simplicity still abounds.  The Spanish design duo ensured that the 2013 bridal collection captured their own timeless and personal style which is so easily recognisable nationally and internationally.

The 2013  collection had a very Jane Austin-esque feel with faint traces of gossamer lace, empire-line silhouettes and dainty necklines.

Classic flamenco style skirts and traditional lace panelling also featured which were a nod to the design duos style which represents a fusion of  traditional Spanish craftsmanship with contemporary and innovative design.

Barely-there lace paired with full and floaty skirts? Swoon....

So what do you think of these period inspired gowns? Are you more of a contemporary gal? Victorio & Lucchino is available in Ireland from Myrtle Ivory.
