The sweet crossover period during summer, between wedding season and Paris Couture Week, is a prime moment for bride-to-be fashion inspiration. Each couture designer displays their exquisite bridal wear looks during the shows, leaving every onlooker with little to be desired–aside, of course, from securing their own dress. Ahead, the stuff wedding day mood boards are made of, from playful proportions at Balenciaga to intricate beadwork at Georges Hobeika. Here are the best bridal looks from the AW22 Couture runways.

The combination of fabrics in this bridal look from the Georges Hobeika AW22 Couture show is a feast for the eyes. The magic of this gown is in its multi-layered textures, from the beadwork on the barely-there sheer top to the ruffled fabric flowing out and creating a mermaid silhouette. Take a style cue from the runway and pair yours with platform pumps.

Balenciaga’s Couture collection subverts traditional bridal wear codes with its pepper-hued gown and a dramatic veil covering the entire dress’s oversized ball-gown silhouette. It’s an impactful look for any bride looking to make a memorable entrance at her wedding ceremony, let alone the AW22 Paris Couture Week runway.

Untraditional brides are going to gravitate to Giambattista Valli‘s Couture collection, due to the Maison’s whimsical take on bridal wear this season. From embellished cut-outs to unconventional plumage placements, this bridal gown, in particular, is ideal for the bride who wants to have fun and stay true to her style on the big day. Finishing off the look with a pair of opaque sunglasses says: “I’m not your typical bride; deal with it.”

Zuhair Murad‘s Couture bridal wear looks are the stuff of legend. This Arab designer is a favourite of brides everywhere, and with this AW22 Couture bridal gown, we can see why. The cape-like sleeves combined with the high slit offset the dress’s blunt neckline, giving the wearer movement and adding an element of sensuality to the gown.
