Monique Lhuillier 2013 Bridal Collection

Every now and then I like to go to the leading wedding gown designer's websites and gawk over the beautiful gowns that they have, once again, created. I would never expect to be disappointed by any one of the greatest designers, but Monique Lhuiller never seems to fail her fans and creates whimsical gowns fit for brides of many styles - of course the price tag may get in the way at times.

The Spring 2013 Bridal Collection is magical. From ball gowns to trumpet-style gowns, it is hard to pick a favorite, and thankfully, I'm not in a position where I need to. The collection includes many textures. We see lace, chiffon, bows, sparkle, frills, capped sleeve, long sleeved - I can go on and on.

I've posted a few of my favorites and I encourage you to check out the site yourself. Even if these wedding gowns may not be in the average bride's budget, they can give you ideas for what you want your wedding gown to be. We're lucky enough to have designers out there that re-create these out-of-budget gowns to fit our wallets!

Jessica Simpson Bridal

Jessica Simpson seems to have it all going on. She's a new mom to a beautiful baby girl and is a soon-to-be bride. And, with this, she is also a fashion designer. From designing clothing, accessories, handbags, shoes and fragrances, as well as being a judge on "Fashion Star", what more could she possibly want to tackle? After all...she is a new mom, so when would she have the time?! Well, it is rumored that this fashion designer is ready to take on the bridal world and I couldn't be more excited! Her engagement to Eric Johnson has inspired Jessica to create a line of bridal gowns of her own. It's something she has always wanted to do and I'm confident that it will be successful. I just can't wait to see what her line holds for all of us! Congrats to Jessica Simpson!

XOXO, Divine Bride
