Fabulous Florentine Wedding Dresses from Theia Fall 2018
Florence, Italy was the inspiration behind Donald O'Neil's fall 2018 bridal collection for Theia. So how did the Creative Director translate the romantic Italian hotspot in his collection? By incorporating delicate glass beading throughout the gowns and infusing sexy elements. O'Neil focused on silhouettes that embraced a woman's curves no matter what size she may be. According to O'Neil, "sexy has no size," so naturally, the label also launched a plus-size capsule collection of six of their best selling dresses – and some of these creations made it on the runway as well.
As for the show, it was sexy, yet tasteful. Looks ran the gamut from a chic kimono-sleeve jumpsuit in satin to a frothy hand-embroidered and Italian glass and crystal beaded bodice over a tiered tulle skirt. Overall, this was one of O'Neil's strongest bridal collections yet – he struck the perfect balance between runway and reality. See these styles and more in the slideshow above!
