Monique Lhuillier has become a quintessential name in the wedding world - synonymous with beauty, grace, and fashion that is both modern and dream-like in the same moment. I personally am a huge lover of fashion, and I know that because of this I can get swept away in the lust over new designs, new looks, and the tidal waves of all-things-pretty that we see everywhere when thinking "wedding." The thing about the Monique Lhuillier brand though, is that it is the real deal. Her wedding gowns are stunning, and impeccably made. Her boutiques are luxurious, and they offer great customer service. Her company is filled with incredibly talented people, who are also wonderfully real, big-hearted and generous. I feel lucky to know them, and I love that it's just as thrilling to get to catch up with the Monique Lhuillier team during my week in New York for Bridal Market as it is to see the new bridal collection. For a fashion-obsessed girl like me, that's really saying a lot.

Here are some of my favorite designs from the Fall 2013 Monique Lhuillier bridal collection - featuring delicately layered tulle, dramatic illusion necklines, and that Lhuillier look that just can't be imitated. Enjoy!
