Every bride-to-be has dreamed of their perfect wedding dress. From traditional styles to over-the-top designs, there's a wedding dress out there for everyone. In fashion, the finale bride is a key token to the runway experience. At the end of a runway show, a designer will make their last runway look a bridal look that ties in with the theme from the rest of the collection. The bride will either walk alone or with a member of a bridal party, such as a bridesmaid or flower girl, to give the audience the full effect. This trend dates back to the 1940s and is still present in runway shows today.

Many fashion brands have found substantial success specifically within the bridal market. Designers like Vera Wang are renowned for their wedding collections, whereas designers like Vivienne Westwood release bridal collections as well as their more widely successful main collections. Because every bride is different, designers can tap into this market while still staying true to their personal creative vision. L'OFFICIEL has collected some of the most iconic finale bridal looks from the 1900s to the present day to give any prospective brides (or anyone who loves wedding content) some dress inspiration for their big day.
