Wedding Fashion Designer Spotlight: Christian Siriano

Curated by: Rena Sweeney, Alchemy Events

After a hiatus since his Spring 2018 collection, Christian Siriano is back in bridal and is serving one of the most inclusive wedding collections we’ve ever seen.  Sleek, classic, and fashion forward, this collection has a diverse selection of looks in a range of sizes, from 0 to 28!

Whether you’re looking for a short flirty gown to elope in, a statement ballgown, or even something you can wear again (be it a pantsuit or a chic gown), Christian Siriano brings something for everyone in his new collection.

WEDDING GOWNS WITH COLOR

In Siriano’s Fall/Winter 2021 Collection, he’s showcasing a lot of black, white and pink color combinations. He also has pieces in his Spring 2021 Capsule and Pre-Fall 2021 Collections that all could coordinate and cross over into bridal or attendants clothing as well. Bridal trends often evolve slowly, but with Siriano, there is a conscious effort to pull in the things he is bringing on the fashion runway into his bridal fashion offerings.

The cropped lace tuxedo bodice gown with organza and tulle ball skirt (shown above) is my favorite look from this collection. I’m getting iconic Billy Porter 2019 Oscar vibes from this gown.

Some of Siriano’s pieces, such as his slip gown, halter top and ombre Poppy gown, are serving late 90’s and early 2000’s inspiration. Think Gwen Stefani, who rocked a pink ombre gown both for her wedding to 90’s rocker heartthrob Gavin Rossdale, as well a custom Christian Siriano gown for her 2018 Christmas Special that is so similar to the Poppy gown it makes my inner fangirl squeal.

TUXEDO WEDDING GOWN VIBES

From sleek to frilly, Siriano’s 2021 Bridal Collection has lots of tuxedo and menswear inspired elements.

ON TREND WEDDING STYLE

Siriano hits on several current popular trends in bridal fashion that we’re seeing across the board right now, including off the shoulder necklines, tiered and ruffled skirts, detachable overskirts and gowns that feature illusion aspects with pearl accents.

Available through his website, Christian Siriano has priced these pieces between $1,800 and $16,900, bringing inclusivity into every facet of this collection.
