Always one of the most exciting shows we go to is the Monique Lhuillier show and this year - as always - it did not disappoint!
Linesheets for the show
The backdrop for the runway show
Always some fun short dresses
Monique Lhuillier is such a trendsetter. Her classic gown "Scarlett" from a few seasons ago had a dramatic keyhole back.
Loved how she re-worked it onto this ethereal, feminine gown.
There were many high-low hems shown throughout all the designers. How do you feel about this look? Great for showing off a great pair of shoes.
Is this a look you would ever have on your wedding day?
Super sexy and modern slit.
Final lineup of all the models in the gowns
After the runway show we have our appointment in the showroom. When we are in the showroom thee are generally only 2-3 stores present and it gives us an opportunity to see the gowns up close, take better pictures and review the collection.
A few favorites:
"Keepsake"
Shown with Keepsake belt
A classic and modern ballgown
Love this idea - it is a "reverse" jacket. It is coverup that is sheer & beaded. It closes in the back so that when it is on - it gives the look of the gown having illusion sleeves and neckline.
Great for religious services where you need coverage as well as it a great look to transition from ceremony to reception.
"Emotion"
Love the draping on the bodice & backside and how the straps are so interesting in front & back. We will probably figure out a way in alterations to make this gown strapless or make the straps adjustable to go from off the shoulder to strapless.
The fit on this gown is flawless - this will make any brides figure look amazing.
"Lillie"
I always love a short fun gown. This is just the right look and feel for an engagement party, rehersal dinner, or whimsical garden wedding.
"Beloved"
Perfect name for this gown. The fabric is an embossed satin - if you look closely you can see that pattern of roses "printed" into the gown that give it a very cool and unusual texture. The hand tufted skirt is classic Monique. The whole look is so luxurious and decadent.
This gown is part of Monique Lhuillier's Platinum Collection. We are fortunate enough to be among a select and exclusive group of stores that carry this line.
(These are the gowns we get really excited about - they are just a little "more" - more embellishment, more fashion forward, more dramatic, etc)
"Candy"
This is actually a gown from last season. We loved the gown, but at the time it was only offered in a blush pink color. They are now offering it in Ivory now so we are thrilled and can't wait to have it in the store!
Close up of the exquisite detail on this gown
These are just a few of the gowns that we selected to bring into the store. I hope you are excited about these gowns are we are. As this is the most recent collection these gowns will not be in store until April of next year. BUT - you can see ALL the dresses we selected, including these, during our
Monique Lhuillier Trunk Show December 16th - 18th. A 10% discount will be offered off all Monique Lhuillier gowns purchased during the show.
If you find your gown at the show, you could very easily be the first bride to ever wear one of these designs down the aisle!
You will definitely want to call soon for your appointment as that weekend is already booking up!
