A Little About ML and & My Top Picks-Part 1

First of all, congratulations to all of the brides-to-be!  For those of you planning to get married this fall or winter,  I know that you probably already have your bridal trousseau, but I couldn't resist at least showing a few pictures of dresses that I thought were a nice mixture of two of the hottest trends for the upcoming season that borrow from the rolling 20's and 40's and the romantic era.

The dresses featured above are from Badgley Mischka and U.K. bridal designer, Ian Stuart. 

  
  I reviewed several collections from some of the top luxury bridal designers in the world and so far I was impressed the most by  two of my favorite luxury bridal designers: Monique Lhuillier and Ramona Keveza. 

The name Monique Lhuillier is to weddings as water is to sea in my opinion.  Monique is one of my favorite bridal gown designers.  I love her style,  creativity, and ability to steer trends.  I even appreciate how she and her husband work together as a team and rely on each other's strengths to create a brand that has made a strong mark in the fashion industry and after thirteen years, they are still growing strong.

ML has now expanded and have added to their collections: ready to wear, tabletop, fine paper, and bridesmaids.

I am very happy to see that her collection has something for everyone even those of us with broad shoulders (she never leaves us out).

I like the names that she gives each dress.  I took a peek at her fall 2009 bridal collection, and some of the dresses stood out to me because they were either flattering for most figures, flattering for curvy figures, flattering for the broad shouldered, and/or their uniqueness (i.e. Jillian).  The ones that stood out the most were the Leighton, Zuzanna, Jillian, Soraya, Lourdes, and then there's Evita, which I nicknamed "The Finale" or "Diva Dress".  Evita is covered in peacock feathers, you have to see this one!

I wrote extensive notes about each dress but I'll let you draw your own conclusion.  You can check out this collection at: www.moniquelhuillier.com

Please tell me your thoughts....
