About Oscar de la Renta Bridal

 Despite being a household name in the world of haute couture since the 60s, you might be surprised to learn it wasn’t until 2006 that Oscar de la Renta brought out his first bridal collection. However, it certainly wasn’t long before celebrities worldwide could be seen sporting the stunning styles at their nuptials, from grand entrances in beautifully layered ballgowns to mini dresses perfect for the after-party.

 Most notably, Amal Clooney dazzled in a stunning off-the-shoulder gown draped in chantilly lace, while Kate Bosworth selected two different de la Renta styles for her intimate ceremony in Rock Creek. The first was an elegant, satin strapless number with a show-stopping train, while the reception dress featured floral embroidered tulle and scalloped cap sleeves.

 Let’s take a look at some of the most studding de la Renta styles from the latest seasons.

 Variations of this sensational design featured in all three of the most recent seasons. Fit for the most fashion-forward bride, this Oscar de la Renta floral dress is composed of fascinating 3D threadwork and embroidery. Spring 2022 saw the first iteration of this show-stopping style, in a strapless, figure-hugging silhouette with a beautiful V neck (above). For Fall 2022, the unusual design was reimagined to cater to the trend toward shorter styles, with a breathtaking strapless minidress (below). With nude underlay and just the right amount of volume in the skirt, this is one unforgettable party dress.

 Nothing says fairytale wedding like a tulle ballgown, and Look 14 from the Spring 22 collection certainly says just that (above). This incredible feat of dressmaking features a billowing skirt with over 20 layers of tulle complete with 3D floral embellishments. In typical timeless style, the corseted bodice offers a strapless sweetheart neckline and feathery embroidery. Ideal for the bride that likes to make an entrance.

 For the Fall 2022 collection, Look 6 (above) offered a more simple design to steal the show, with a voluminous tulle skirt that simply glides around the bride, and a boned tulle bodice. The look is finished with off-the-shoulder tulle sleeves for an elegant ceremony look to remember.

Silk Taffeta

 There’s something so timeless and classy about silk taffeta, particularly when paired with a Cinderella silhouette. Look 6 from Spring 2022 (above) offered a storybook take on the trend, with a floral illusion neckline and chic fitted bodice.

 Combining beauty, grace, and a cape, Look 4 from Fall 2022 (above) brought two looks in one. Arrive down the aisle as a vision of regal elegance with the cape billowing softly behind you. For the reception, remove the cape and reveal the matching strapless silk-chiffon gown underneath, with seductive details such as a thigh-high slit and sweetheart neckline.

Floral Lace

 What could be more iconic than floral lace on your wedding day? One of the more unusual Oscar de la Renta dresses, Look 5 (above) from the Spring 2022 collection offered a wonderfully vintage profile, with a knee-length hem and a dropped waistline. The embroidered bodice rises to the neck in a vision of chic sophistication, while the back features a flouncy knee-length train. Perfect for a refined, courthouse ceremony.

A stylish scoop neck keeps the look contemporary, while the feminine floral lace offsets the form-fitting profile. Pair a floral lace gown with a string of pearls and you have the ultimate time-honored bridal styling.
