2016 Wedding Dresses: Eliza Jane Howell ‘The Grand Opera’ Collection

2016 Wedding Dresses Eliza Jane Howell 'The Grand Opera' Collection (36)

I’m blown away by today’s theatrical-inspired wedding dress feature.

Gill Harvey has brought together her years of experience to create Eliza Jane Howell Bridal – and The Grand Opera Collection doesn’t disappoint.

Inspiration for The Grand Opera Collection is taken from Gill’s love of opera and the vision, architecture and evocative stories of the theatre.

Named after her grandmother, the Eliza Jane Howell Bridal Collection has been designed for the modern day bride who would love to wear a dress that oozes the glamour, sophistication and decadence of the golden age of fashion. Taking inspiration from exquisite vintage gowns, the Eliza Jane Howell collection is the epitome of grown up glamour.

The dramatic pieces are balanced perfectly against the softer, romantic looks from Belinda, Echo, Delilah and Sylvia, which all have much softer beaded detailing.

Looking through these beautiful gowns, I can see that if they had been around when I was getting married I would definitely have worn one – I adore the subtle coloured gowns in fawn – so unique and ultra glamorous.
