When I searched around to find beautiful bridal gowns made by Indie designers, my search led me to Joan Shum Bridal. It was exactly what I was looking for. These stunning gowns, deemed "Bella Tea," "White Dahlia," "Love in the Mist" and "Lady Catherine" respectively, were my favorite dresses in her collection. Joan Shum is The Bridal Wishlist's pick for Indie Designer of the Year 2008. She has quite a few amazing designs and you can see her collection here.
