And that veil…

I couldn’t resist posting these two images Cappy Hotchkiss sent us from our wedding last weekend.  That dress. It does not get better than this Monique perfection combined with a stunning bride. Later, you can catch a glimpse of the vintage inspired veil.

Yesterday I was walking around the Art & Design District on Melrose and stopped dead in my tracks when spotting the Monique Lhuillier store. I also began to take photos of the incredible dresses on display (I will share those non-pro pics on my Twitter). The creations were all pure inspiration. If I had a “do-over” for my wedding, I would absolutely replace my Vera with Monique (or, well, maybe Oscar, but that post has already been written). Monqiue’s dresses look like… Sculpted Perfection. Layers of Butter Cream Icing. Decadently Feminine. Sublimely Couture. Dreamy Audrey Hepburn Perfection.

Here are some of the latest lovelies from the 2010 Vera collection. We like them. And, more importantly they won’t illicit hatred and malice from your bridesmaids. Because let’s face the facts: if your bridesmaids look good, you look good. Right? Umm, YES.

How can words possibly epitomize perfection?  I know, I say this EVERY time I see any creation from the master: Oscar de la Renta. But, it’s true.  The 2010 bridal line is no exception- play on playa.  I cannot get enough. Every single dress is perfection.  Sorry for you purists, but Vera who? Oscar is where it’s at this season.  Also, he has a new line for flower girls.  Yes, please.

These Spring 2010 designs from Vera are incredible!  Everything looks like couture.  Absolute dream.  Brilliant incorporation of color.  Gorgeous.  The designs speak for themselves.  No need to expand.  Just in love.

Vera has some lovely new designs for your maids. Very impressed with this latest collection–less fabric, more modern, and very deep, sexy colors. As we have seen all season with our own clients: purple and smokey hues are where it’s at…
