Monique Lhuillier 2010 Spring Summer Collection

    

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! [via zimbio]

Flower Power

      

While many brides leave the nitty gritty of wedding flower bouquets and arrangements up to the florist or reception house, most still want to have a say as much as their knowledge allows. If a bride has firm wedding flower ideas, then at least the florist has something to work with and can fit in with the bride’s wishes as much as possible.

Colour seems to be the main concern for brides as flowers have to either match or complement the dresses of the bride and bridesmaids, and not clash with the groom’s and groomsmens’ outfits. The Wedding Flowers Bouquet is the first concern for the bride and her bridesmaids for no matter how informal the wedding, even if it is a civil service, brides usually carry some sort of flower arrangement.

The word used a lot here is complementary, that is, fitting in or matching or at least not clashing with the dresses or the bride. [via wedding flowers 101]

In splendid defiance of the darkness of the time, Zuhair Murad’s Fall Winter collection 2009 2010 was presented during the fashion week in Paris on July 7, in Carrousel du Louvre. Entitled Winter Rhapsody, this collection is inspired by all-white winter scenery and mystical beauty.

Leaves of organza quietly fall over elegiac dresses in graceful order. Embroidered on airy fabrics like tulles and lace, they lend a sense of natural flow to each dress. Colours follow: light grey icicle white, champagne and frosted almond, all contrasted by metallic threads and finishes.
