The eternally feminine and extraordinarily detailed designs of Monique Lhuillier are as lovely as ever this spring, with dresses that are soft and airy, lightweight and ethereal, and ever so sweet and romantic. Her dress silhouettes and necklines are quite classic, but somehow each gown has a current feel to it as well. They really are the epitome of timeless style! Lucky Los Angeles area brides can see the 2010 collection in person at the […]

Vera Wang’s spring 2010 bridal collection is all about layers and layers of diaphanous fabrics paired with creative deconstructed shapes. I love the way they seem to be part fairy tale and part punk rock, like an updated version of Cinderella’s ball gown, magically made with yards and yards of the world’s most fabulous fabrics by an ultra-cool modern day fairy god mother! And Vera went big for color this season as well, with gorgeous […]

They have their wedding boutique divided up into sections for the Bride, Bridesmaid, Mother of the Bride, Wedding Guest, Lingerie, and Honeymoon so there’s all sorts of […]

Spring fever has crept its way in around here and has me lusting after things that are light and airy, like these new, lovely and entirely over-the-top spring Christian Louboutin heels! How gorgeous would they look with a wedding dress (or a cocktail dress, or a pair of jeans, or nothing at all really?) They are officially my new objects of affection and will be dancing through my daydreams until spring rolls around! Top shoes: […]
