Never one to rest on her laurels, Inbal Dror every season pulls something new and innovative out of her deep well of creative genius. This season was no exception.

Inspired by the idea of contrasting glamour and decadence in one garment, for fall 2016 Inbal Dror bridal collection ranged from regal Bridal gowns to sultry eveningwear injected with some menswear influences. This season Dror was attempting to find that juxtaposition between frothy bridal wear and an inventive play on men’s tuxedo jackets and tailored button-down shirts. Dror also expanded her color beyond the traditional bridal hues of ivory, vanilla and champagne to include charcoal blush and black.

Like previous collections, Dror likes to emphasize the curves of a woman’s body in her bridal looks. This perspective was again a prime focal point of Dror’s fall 2016 collection. However, unlike previous outings, this collection had a dual purpose. Several of the looks in the collection could also be worn for a night out on the town in any major international city.

Dror has tapped into how the bridal industry is evolving past and industry that only embraces gowns that will worn only that one special occasion or past down as heirlooms. Dror realizes that the modern bride is more utilitarian is open to embracing looks that are nontraditional and border on sultry nightlife clothes.

This fall 2016 collection had something for a wide range of brides, facilitating a wide variety tastes and age demographics. What is consistent about Inbal Dror is that her customer loves luxury couture-inspired looks and does not shrink away from her sensuality and allure.

That said; standout looks for this collection included Dror’s body-hugging crotchet pant suit, caviar-beaded double breasted gown, men’s-inspired button-down shirt lace and organza gown with high slits, and charcoal blush mermaid gown with fitted lace bodice.
