Design Inspiration
From the Designer, Catherine Langlois: The inspiration behind the collection was to showcase the shades of a morning sky, in a variety of styles within the current favorite bridal tones of blush and grey. The gowns range in style from ultra romantic, classic, alternative bride and boho/cochella.
A New Take on Colors
Catherine Langlois: As a designer, I wanted to show how blush can take on many different looks depending on the style of gown, fabric and detailing.
The Gowns
Catherine Langlois: I was inspired by the current bold floral trends seen on the runway and interior decorating. The classic white strapless silk shantung “Delphine” gown has a detachable silk organza overskirt with a soft water color effect print. The romantic ethereal “Jasmine” silk organza gown has intricate pastel floral applique and soft tulle petal inspired sleeves. The alternative gown ”Aurora” is the colors of a new dawn blended with floral applique.
Photoshoot Inspiration
From the photographer, Whitney Heard: The inspiration for the photo-shoot was to take a princess inspired classic theme and “dirty up” the look. Our models sported pink and purple big messed up hair, the make-up was colorful pastels and slightly smudged. The models were instructed to pose as if they had a good time at the wedding, and this was the next morning. Hence the title of the collection “Morning Sky”.
