Wes Gordon exhibited the full spectrum for the Carolina Herrera Fall 2020 Bridal collection with a line up of a tightly edited collection of 11 dresses. From minimalist to maximalist, there were slender columns as neat as punctuation marks that intensified into sweeping trumpet skirts.

The purest of the gowns had the tiniest beads tucked around the V-neck and in between the pleats in the back. The frilliest of dresses was an off-the-shoulder stunner with half-sleeves made of embroidered organza that was cut out into lace.

For this Bridal collection, Gordon’s focus for this lineup was “statement shapes.” “The Herrera woman is bold⁠, and the bride is no exception,” he said.

For the bride thinking big, there was a strapless ivory gown with dramatic oversized floral embroidery scattered throughout and on the matching veil. Freshest of all was a voluminous matelassé confection with draped straps; it combined both ends of the Herrera spectrum in the most direct manner: texture and shape.
