The spring/summer 2013 Haute Couture shows in Paris were as trend-setting as ever this season and offered so many bridal gowns that we would have thought it was bridal fashion week. Almost every show ended with wedding worthy looks that would make any bride-to-be dream about her dress. Check these works of art out! What was your favorite show?

Dior’s spring garden motif was a collection a pastels with an occasional pop of neon. The structured jackets and corseted ball gowns were covered in floral patterns that are totally wedding worthy. And, like most recent Dior shows, a natural makeup palette is completed with a brightly colored lip. Love! Would you rock a bold lip for the wedding ?

In a variety of rainbow shades, every gown that came down the runway at Elie Saab was as dreamy as ever. However, what caught our eye the most the royal ball gown at the end of the show. Topped with a luxurious over-the-head lace veil, we were absolutely swooning.

The final look at Zurad Murad was breath-taking (as you can see). This glittery wedding gown was such a show stopper! A soft floral crown and veil was the perfect combination for this model bride. The new take on all-over lace? Shimmer and sheer.

In a demur shift dress that floated down the infamous staircase, Lady Mary’s wedding-day look was completed with an antique embroidered chapel train veil and an heirloom tiara designed by royal jewelers Bentley & Skinner. Downton’s Emmy award-winnning design team has outdone themselves.
