If you have been a visitor to Chic Vintage Brides for some times, or are a follower on Pinterest, you will no doubt have glimpsed the gorgeous bridal gowns in Katya Katya Shehurina’s 2016 collection ‘Venice’ (if you haven’t though, you will most definitely want to!) Well today I am beyond excited to be sharing her highly anticipated 2017 collection ‘Flowers of the Valley’. Delicately vintage, beautifully bohemian and unashamedly romantic; it is truly breathtaking…..

Inspired by ethereal landscapes and picturesque country side settings, Latvian born London based, designer Katya Shehurina continues to wow me, and the rest of the bridal industry, with designs that are simultaneously fresh and timeless, sophisticated and fun. Designs that will appeal to today’s modern brides, seeking understated elegance, a splash of whimsy and a look that truly reflects who she is.

Here are a few words provided by the designer herself about the collection “French floral, decorative lace and tulle flow with the soft breeze of the Valleys fresh air as the bride stands in a field of wild flowers. Soft flowers trail over the body, joining the gown with hand crafted applique with and contrasting Swarovski embellishments reflecting the wilderness’s sublime surroundings. Light in nature and in form Katya Shehurina lays the grounds for any romance. Fresh pastel colours of silk taffeta flowers of the valley rest on the shoulders of the bride, reflecting showers of cherry blossom leaves. Not forgetting the back detail, Katya frames the back masterfully with baroque style scalloping, along with the on-trend bohemian feel of the off-the-shoulder neckline.”

As well as delicate floral laces, ‘Flowers of the Valley’ introduces candy pin stripes, polka dots and graphic circular laces, infusing the collection with a distinctive style that stands apart from your typical wedding dress. And the gentle use of colour Katya is quickly becoming renowned for has an increased presence in this her latest collection. Slips in new soft hues of pastel lilacs and powder pink have been added to the continuing popular shades of nude, off-white and sky blue. Allowing brides to create a truly unique look with a simple change of a slip!

I don’t know about you but I am swooning over each and every one! But especially that open back detail of Titania and the hi-low hemline on the gorgeous Summer! I can not wait to see some brides rocking these stunners. If you are dying to try one of these beauties on then you will be pleased to hear Katya Katya Shehurina is stocked throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as online at My Day My Way.
