While most of us couldn't possibly dream of affording one of the exquisite gowns that paraded down the runway, we can be sure that these trends will eventually make their way to the bridal world.

Over-sized bows, opulent fabrics, taffeta peplums, and a certain quality of power dressing seemed to be ubiquitous on the Couture runways. While romantic and ethereal gowns still had their place, there seemed to be a hint of over the top dominating the fashions. Sure, that's common place for the world's most extravagant runways, but this time it felt bigger than usual.
