Oscar de la Renta opened this morning’s bridal show with a bikini—like starting with the honeymoon and working backwards. Other than that, the show was a traditional presentation of what de la Renta does best. His showroom, on Seventh Avenue, was full of budding cherry blossoms and a classic waltz and he sent out a parade of dresses—down an aisle, naturally—covered in delicate floral embroidery and white lace. A bohemian looking silk organza caftan topped the bikini; after it came ruffled trains paired with bolero jackets, a knee-length strapless white dress with a rabbit fur skirt, and cotton-candy colored blue and pink organza pieces in both long and short.  Almost everything was topped off with veiled Patricia Underwood hats that’d work as well at a garden wedding or Ascot as they would on a bride. And though “classic” is the word best used to describe the collection as a whole, de la Renta included just enough non-traditional silhouettes to gain a more modern bride’s interest. Whether you’re looking for Witherspoon-pink or Middleton-tradition, de la Renta has you covered.
