So we can eliminate these!


I think they should have looked at Balenciaga - she seems to like their stuff a lot.

The impossible has finally happened—George Clooney is engaged. After numerous relationships, the world’s most elusive bachelor is finally settling down with international attorney Amal Alamuddin. A brainy brunette who holds degrees from Oxford University and NYU, the newly betrothed beauty will require a bridal look fit for Hollywood royalty with a Lake Como backdrop. The bridal collections lent themselves a sense of quiet elegance that the future Mrs. Clooney would appreciate with subtle detailing, pared-back necklines, and sweeping trains. Alberta Ferretti showed a subdued strapless dress accented with a tulle cape for chilly post-ceremony dancing outside, while Carolina Herrera and Marchesa proved that a hint of skin with an off-the-shoulder dress can be elegant and sensual. Oscar de la Rentaaccented a strapless trumpet gown with a bejeweled brooch with pearl accent for a vintage feel, but we appreciate the modernity of Vera Wang’s chantilly lace take on the shirtdress that she could wear with flats on the beach.

I love the second dress  

Me too, Nicky


Well, I bet every designer on the planet is trying to get this gig and sending best wishes to His Nibs as a starter.........

What was it Vera Wang said to Stacy Keibler at her show in NYC.....'say Hello to George for me, won't you'

I'll be very surprised if the "chosen dress" 
has uncovered shoulders.

Or ankles or wrists..

Ok, no I don´t like any of these.

First one, too mixture of what ever, Indian, scandinavian (headthing). Maybe I just don´t like lace.

Second, this is a snow white wedding dress. I like disney movies, cartoons, but not as a wedding theme.

Third, it looks like a dying flower, everything points down. Depressing looking gown.

Fourth, Doesn´t look like a wedding gown and top of it is too small even for a model.

Fifth, horrible, goth dress but in white.   

I'd rather not think of her in a dress. I'm still hoping that it doesn't happen

LOL, I know what you mean, Playful!

Agree with Joanna that it's unlikely to have bare shoulders (clearly none of these dresses were made for church weddings) but the final design is going to depend on where and when the wedding is.

There's a world of difference between what you wear at a garden wedding in high summer in Como and say at a formal hotel wedding in London in September. Or even on the beach at Cabo in May. For example.

I don't think it will be too skin showing she seems to like having her arms covered.

I think Amal would like something different then the normal white dress. I mean judging from her fashion sense she probably like something out of the ordinary.

I do hope so ! 

Personally I don't like the whole "white wedding dress" syndrome that exists in UK.
It seems so out of date for 2014, especially as the bride is 
not usually an innocent virgin !

For my second wedding I wore a pretty cotton dress from Laura Ashley 
in my favourite colours, with a casual unlined cotton jacket from M&S 
in a matching plain colour, 25 years ago this year !

I am waiting to see what shoes she wears. I'm hoping she sticks with her quirky style!

Off topic, but I'm in love with your avatar Pita! Scruffy George = Yum!

Can't quite see Amal in a 'meringue' look somehow.............

I hate the meringue look, so old fahined

PAN, are you talking about one of those big fluffy numbers? Good heavens she would likely never be found in one of those!
