{bridal gowns} Monique Lhuillier

I recently picked up my Spring 2012 copy of Martha Stewart Weddings and was instantly drawn into the Monique Lhuillier ads.  I checked out her Spring 2012 collection and found a good mix of blush gowns, lace, and some tea-lengths.  I pulled 5 of my favorites.  What do you think of wearing blush instead of white?  Definitely not traditional, but I think it's perfect for Spring!

The embroidery on this is stunning!  Though I'm not a huge fan of the bow tie in the middle, I love the tulle skirt.

 

{Waltz - Platinum Collection}

This has definitely got a little extra frou frou to it.  I love the fullness of the dress (though I'd probably disappear in it) and the big loose bow in the back.  It's got a great subtly to it; I definitely prefer it to the typical one.

{Peony}

 I love the tight bodice and trumpet skirt (where it flares out at the ends).

I love the natural-looking folds and flow of this dress.

 

 {Florence}

Same gown shape as the previous one, but here we introduce some lace.

I love the texture and the buttons down the back.

 

{Dede}

Okay, I have to admit the short wedding dress trends haven't really stuck to me, but I love this classy lace 3/4 sleeve dress.  But don't be fooled!  You'd think it's all conservative and up-tight, but take a look at that back.  Gorgeous.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
