Rosa Clará proved the fitting choice as the designer to kick off Barcelona Bridal Week 2014. The Catalan fashion house, who opened the event on Tuesday, gave a head-turning runway show as model after model waltzed down the catwalk.

Rosa showed her versatility and presented slinkier, column style pieces that flaunted the model's svelte figures, while other gowns featured detailed embellishments and floral lace appliqué. With her label starting in 1995, Rosa's mission was to inject "fashion" into the bridal world. "I knew then that I had something important to do, to contribute more creativity, bring more innovation, and above all, more design flair to the sector," she stated online. Celebrities flocked to her 2014 show, with Lionel Messi's partner Antonella Roccuzzo and Cesc Fabregas' girlfriend Daniella Semaan both spotted in attendance.

Barcelona Bridal Week will take place at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via and end on Friday 9 May.
