Desert Dreaming: New Galina Spring 2018 for David’s Bridal

Remember when we said that the Pacific Northwest had total bragging rights for the most amazingly picturesque and adventuresome weddings out there? Well, we’re revising our statement just a tad… because the Desert Southwest is kind of awesome too. For the real diehard desert fans, not just Coachella festival flower children, the warm deserts of Cali, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas offer some of the most unreal settings for a wedding. And the new Spring 2018 collection of Galina (exclusively) for David’s Bridal is literally EVERYTHING for the free-spirited, playful bride who either had her sights on tying the knot at Joshua Tree from jump or just decided to pack up, road trip, and make it official with nuptials every nature lover would die for.

Here are some of the trends you can spot throughout the entire range - from high necklines to 3D floral appliqué and bold lace - all you’ll need to complete the ‘Nbd, we’re exchanging vows in the high desert’ look is a parasol, a protea-packed wild bouquet, and a casj-yet-cool denim jacket.

off-the-shoulder

Nothing says boho more than a sexy off-the-shoulder silhouette. Really, just thinking about baring our shoulders sends some chills down our spines. And the Galina OTS styles aren’t just basic, they boast flouncy bell sleeves and fringy eyelash lace to pull together a totally feminine feel that photographs flawlessly!

high necklines

Hardly Victorian vibes here, really. The high necks hanging around this collection still have so much sass and sexiness courtesy of delicate halters, illusion detailing, and stunning open keyhole backs. So coverage can happen up front, while exposed décolletage and back detail goes down in the back.

soft ball gowns

Princesses can do their thing in the desert, too, just by toning down all the poof and circumstance…. Instead of larger-than-life stiff-in-structure skirts and grandiose design, the new Galina gowns are much more polished, cleaner in silhouette and collapsed construction. So, definitely take your tiara, but throw it on to dress up your full skirt and clean waist, not as a cherry on top of your cupcake ball gown.

3d Floral applique

When you’re going bohemian, you must have flowers, always and always. And this season, Galina is blooming with gowns decked out in dynamic floral applique. From wispy graphic flowers atop a v-neck bodice to 3D floral appliques and embroidery adding drama and femininity to an already fierce bridal jumpsuit, the finesse from these flowers is 👌

bold lace

Next to crochet and macrame, lace is a boho bride’s detail of choice. And there’s no shortage of loved-up lace in this new collection. Allover lace sheaths celebrate clean lines and beautiful texture, and when you throw in some floral motifs and crochet lace, too, the looks are straight up desert divine.

pants

An alternative ceremony locale like the desert deserves some likewise alternative aisle style - and pants are the perfect choice! From a creatively-curated illusion lace crop top with fluid crepe pants to a stretch Mikado slim, tapered one-piece jumpsuit, the opportunities to suit up are exciting and some.
