Royal Wedding: "La Robe de Mariée" Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014
Lebanese couturier Elie Saab is a favorite of the Euro Royals--most recently designing what was arguably one of the Most Beautiful Royal Wedding Dresses of last year for the Luxembourg Royal Wedding and Stéphanie, the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg. So, it is only fitting that he title his most recent Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014 collection he showed yesterday in Paris, "Ceremonie Royale"--a Royal Ceremony, inspired by the Palais Brongniart and how gorgeous dresses would look like flowing through its columns.

The Look: Gorgeous, sumptuous, Royal-looking dresses--well and one pant ensemble. The silhouettes weren't so oppulent, quite simple actually. It's Elie Saab doing the same thing he's been doing...very stunning garments, beaded and crystal'ed like only Elie Saab's atelier can do. Speaking of the crystals and embroidery, this season these were
inspired by jewels in a crown: ruby, emerald, and sapphire. Very monochromatic looks came down the runway: blue crystals on blue silk tulle, red sequins over red silk. And for the finale, it was The Bride--with bridesmaids in tow helping her with her train--which made the "Royal Impact". Look for a princess, countess, any lovely lady with a title--and over $200,000 to fork over for a hand-made Elie Saab Haute Couture wedding gown--to be seen walking down the aisle in this sometime in the future.
