Ralph Rucci doesnt need Ryan Murphy to give him an education on the swans.
This outing, for example, makes use of comb-distressed lace and burnt ostrich feathers trapped within tulle.
Easier is the textured Elsaas in Perettishirt.

(NB that the bridal look is accessorized with an Elsa Peretti rosary.)
Lighter still is Ruccis hybrid of the LBD / all-American shirtwaist in hand-tucked black georgette.
Another influence is Cristobal Balenciaga.
