Black and white is the ultimate colour contrast, a perfect pairing for bold brides in the season ahead
Runway images: Valmont Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week
We all know about the magical properties of an LBD for go-anywhere glamour and, in the coming season, this most sophisticated statement shade is appearing alongside classic white to add drama and style to wedding gowns. At Valmont Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week, we spotted stripes, bold jewel details, even black on white florals. We love this stark contrast for playing with conventions – for a more subtle play just add black magic using luxurious accessories.
