MODERN WEDDING DRESSES: GEMY BY GEMY MAALOUF 11 Jun 2013 9:19 AM (11 years ago)

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DRESSES: DECOUPAGE BY CLAIRE PETTIBONE 14 May 2013 12:00 PM (11 years ago)

Decoupage is french and refers to the age old art of cutting and layering paper cutouts for the purpose of decorating wooden boxes, chests, and other objects. This beautiful collection by Claire Pettibone is just that. It's a layering of chantilly lace and guipure, silks and vintage laces, flowers and other exquisite handmade details. What I loved the most was that the back of the dresses were just as heavenly as the front. Photographs by Anton Oparin.

The best part of wedding planning is definitely shopping for your wedding dress. If you are looking for a wedding dress that is very modern and full of glamour, then Legends by Romona Keveza has a gown for you. The Spring 2014 collection is a celebration of lace. Lace evokes femininity, beauty, and a delicate splendor. The silhouettes are very chic and stylish. You will surely make your guests gasp when you walk down the aisle.

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DRESSES: LELA ROSE WEDDING S/S14 1 May 2013 9:04 AM (11 years ago)

Lela Rose is definitely one of my fav bridal designers. The RTW designer has been designing bridal gowns for some time. You can definitely see the whimsy and feminine details on her bridal gowns that you will find in her RTW collection. Without a doubt, the blush pink gown is my favorite. This is her S/S 2014 collection and will be available in salons in the next few months. So if you are early in your wedding planning, you have time.
