Grecian Chic — Floaty Light Wedding Dresses from Victoria Kyriakides

Good morn­ing every­one! I hope you’ve had a beau­ti­ful, won­der­ful and roman­tic week­end. Today I have some wed­ding dress ideas for you — these stun­ning dresses arrived via email over the week­end and I am smit­ten! As many of you know (if you fol­low Eng­lish Wed­ding Blog on face­book) I’m now based in the beau­ti­ful Eng­lish Lake Dis­trict. Which is a won­der­ful thing — or it will be when I get my broad­band! — but it’s too far for me to travel to the big bridal shows and events in That Lon­don. I missed the White Gallery show which oth­ers adored — but I’m very pleased that this lit­tle bit of it is now grac­ing my wed­ding blog. I’ll hand over to Vic­to­ria Kyr­i­akides to tell you more about her collection!

Wed­ding dress col­lec­tion for 2013: Vic­to­ria Kyriakides

Vic­to­ria Kyr­i­akides is expand­ing her labels’ inter­na­tional hori­zons start­ing from the Lon­don mar­ket. The designer was cho­sen to par­tic­i­pate in London’s most high end bridal cat­walk show, White Gallery this May 2012(20-22nd), show­cas­ing her Gre­cian chic 2013 collection.

Using her trade­mark min­i­mal geo­met­ric Gre­cian aes­thet­ics, she man­aged to make a dif­fer­ence and steal the lime­light by becom­ing a press favorite of the inter­na­tional design­ers cat­e­gory. Fash­ion Edi­tors from Vogue, Martha Stew­art ?agazine, Brides UK Mag­a­zine, You & your Wed­ding Mag­a­zine, Per­fect Wed­ding, White Mag­a­zine Milan, Elle Lon­don, Conde Nast Pub­li­ca­tions and more came to see the collection.

The designer dares to bring down the stereo­type puffy meringue style bride, by redefin­ing organza while sculpt­ing the fab­rics onto the body, form­ing the shapes in such a way to com­ple­ment the body and fol­low every motion. Dynamic style and fem­i­nin­ity join hand­made French Chan­tilly lace and unique Macramé designs, into inspi­ra­tional cre­ations adorn­ing silk in its every version.

Greek haute cou­ture man­aged to stand out thanks to a sub­ver­sive bridal cat­walk show. The whole con­cept became com­plete with the amaz­ing head­pieces inspired by the designer and brought to life by artist/hat-maker Malena Maxla — while the jew­elry was cre­ated by Naya Ferentinoy.
