Romantic Wedding Dresses with a Modern Twist

Brides dreaming of a destination wedding or culturally rich honeymoon in Italy will adore the latest collection from BHLDN. The recently engaged have been loving soft, romantic styles and these newest arrivals are sure to be no different. A blend of romance with bohemian style is brilliantly showcased in the beauty of Southern Italy.

The lookbook photos were taken at famed director Francis Ford Coppola’s Palazzo Margherita hotel, complementing the nod to the nouveau Hollywood era of the 1960s. With fresh and playful designs featuring varying patterns and textures, the new looks offer something perfect for every bride, from the sleek modernist to the laid-back bohemian. The collection also includes looks to bring with you on your honeymoon – fitting, as Italy is one of the most popular destinations for newlyweds. A one-piece swimsuit in bridal white and a maxi dress with a palm tree motif will have you celebrating your new marriage in style.
