St. Pucchi Bridal Runway – 25th Anniversary

It takes a lot to run a business in fashion, and Rani Totman has led the way for St. Pucchi bridal for 25 years.  This in-demand couture bridal line started on a whim to create a finale wedding dress for charity, and has grown to dress celebrities and multiple sport figures wives alike.  St. Pucchi gowns often make their way to the screen (remember “Friends” Phoebe getting married in one?) because they are statement dresses.

For the 25th anniversary, a tribute was setup before the show featuring Rani’s own selection of gowns to represent the decades.  Chilled waters and flutes of champagne were sipped as I spoke with Rani’s daughter about the daunting task of selecting the specific gowns to bring, and it was a great perspective.  Photographs highlighted other looks over the years, and Rani’s press photograph was framed to sign.  Want to see more?  Check this post to see a brief chat with Rani herself discussing the beauty aspect.

Then the show!

Oh the gowns – there are  many of them – and I have them all here for you to view. 

Rani Totman makes use of feathers, beading, ribbons and anything else her heart fancies:

With a few mischevious touches (Yes, that is a peek-a-boo corset. Wait until you see the front):

A bit of lace ( all nails by Zoya Nail Polish):

I think this model must be a fav or some sort of muse because she is pictured over the years in St. Pucchi gowns.  I love her!  Isn’t her look reminiscent of Paulina Porizkova?

Some intense beading:

The crowd went wild for this gown:

And flowers:

Of course, the main theme was butterflies, pulling in the original element from her first show in 1985.  This time, her runway opened and closed with butterflies seemingly flitting over an ivory, then lilac train, and butterflies also accessorized the hair and bouquets.
