They make gorgeous seamless photo backdrops in all colors of damask and retro graphic prints, and are coming out with new designs all the time. Choose from multiple sizes depending on your space and set-up options (check with your photographer to see what size they would recommend), and after your wedding you can even re-purpose the high quality fabric for use in your home. Brilliant!
Exciting Announcements from Monique Lhuillier!
I love it when good things really do come in small packages. In just one little e-mail from our pals over at Monique Lhuillier, we received news of two super exciting announcements that get my wedding-fashion-loving-heart beating a mile a minute!
First off… drum roll please… is the news that Monique Lhuillier is launching a new label called Bliss by Monique Lhuillier! The collection, debuting this fall, will include all the classic yet cutting-edge Lhuillier style we love, but be priced a bit lower- between $2300-$3500- in order to make her designs available to a larger group of women. Love this!
And the second fabulous announcement is that Monique’s gorgeous line of bridesmaid’s dresses is now available online! Hooray! Visit shop.moniquelhuillier.com to choose your favorite styles and colors, and create a wedding party look to die for!
