Bridal Style: Lihi Hod – Spring Summer 2014 Collection

Today I would like to introduce you to a beautiful collection of wedding dresses from Lihi Hod. Lihi Hod is  from Israel and has worked with such big names as John Galliano. Her new collection, inspired by vintage jewelry, is a beautiful collection of Boho inspired designs mixed with smooth silhouette and lots of bridal glamour. I love this collection, so many beautiful details full of lovely lace and gleaming jewels. 

“For me, each bride is her own world. Every bride has her special fantasy, desire and dream. For me, the process of creating the bridal gown is like making dreams become reality. Every bride receives our full attention and every process of designing and creation leads to a dress that is truly one of a kind.”

The Bijoux Spring Summer 2014

Leading bridal gowns designer Lihi Hod launches a new collection inspired by vintage jewelry. Textile affluence, layers and transparencies along with complex couture embroideries create a new ravishing collection.
“Try to imaging that moment when you open an old jewelry box” Lihi explains. “You might discover an exceptional collection shining and glimmering, full of depth and sensitively crafted. I wanted to recreate this moving moment through my dresses. To turn them into jewelry in their own right”.

For over a year Hod collected textiles from around the globe to use in the new collection, aspiring to create a rich and diverse look for each dress in the collection. Depth is created by combining layers of opaque and transparent fabrics such as silk chiffons and tulles with a variety of laces. The color palette ranges from gleaming
whites to cream to nudes. Swarovski crystals, glass beads and gemstones were used in true couture techniques. Hours of embroidering to the layers of supple
fabric resulted in a harmonious look, resembling the jewelry the designer had dreamed of. The result – A collection of unique, flattering dresses, embodying a
nonchalant, delicate boho-chic look.
The dresses all incorporate body suits or shapers that provide a contemporary look and allow for narrow silhouettes and flattering low cut backs.
Lihi’s dresses, ever in tune with current fashions, include this season two super-hot pieces: A maxi skirt, paired with a trendy midriff-revealing cropped top, and
an embroidered ensemble consisting of pants and a light tank top.
