Christos Bridal: Winter 2011 Collection

About Christos

The CHRISTOS collection is the perfect blend of modern and vintage couture detail evoking beauty and purity with a romantic tone. Continuing the devotion to intricate detailing, the collection features hand beaded belts, refined lace hems and hand crafted silk flowers, while feather-like layers of tulle, silk and lace create fluid and airy silhouettes. CHRISTOS designs are especially known for their use of Alençon lace, or point d’Alençon, a type of needle lace created in the French town Alençon, a small town in Normandy, that began manufacturing lace in the sixteenth century. This same lace is used today to create classic romantic designs.

I always loving coming across bridal gown designers that I haven’t heard of yet. As a woman, I’ve always loved flipping through the bridal magazines looking at the oodles of dresses, but I seemed to fail to pay attention to the designer name (bad, Danielle). Either way, I’m slowly learning and catching up on all the amazing-ness that is out there and Christos is definitely one of them!
