London’s famed Victoria and Albert Museum boasts 3000 years’ worth of art and design including ceramics, furniture, fashion, jewelery, metalwork, photography, sculpture, textiles and paintings, and now they are working on a 2011 exhibit of the history of wedding fashion! Leading up to it’s debut they are developing a database of images featuring the clothing worn at weddings in all cultures from 1840 until today. Already the images online (organized by time period) are fascinating to look through, and you can help make it even better. Visit their website to learn more about what they’re looking for (and be sure to check with your photographer to get copyright permission) and then upload images from your very own wedding or the weddings of your family members back to the Victorian period. What a fantastic way to become part of wedding history!

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 Beverly Hills flagship store trunk show coming up on April 23-25. Nice! (It’s by appointment only, so call ahead for scheduling.)
And I’m very excited to see (as I’m sure you are too) that Monique has introduced her bridesmaid’s dress collection! What beautiful shapes and colors. The collection is said to be officially launching later this spring on the newly redesigned www.MoniqueLhuillier.com. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more!
