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!
