MODERN WEDDING DRESSES: GEMY BY GEMY MAALOUF

GEMY by GEMY MAALOUF

Gemy Maalouf took an ambitious step by bringing her unique flair to the fashion-conscious bride in 2004 with the GEMY MAALOUF Bridal line. In 2006, she once again embraced progress and change with her GEMY “Le Prêt” line, which provides a complete range of formal attire, from tops and skirts to short dresses. Finally in 2007, feeling the increasing demand for her designs from a niche of clientele with lower budgets, Gemy launched her 2nd line Beside Couture by GEMY providing the style at more affordable prices. Here is her latest collection.

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DRESSES: DECOUPAGE BY CLAIRE PETTIBONE

DECOUPAGE BY CLAIRE PETTIBONE SPRING/SUMMER 2014

Decoupage is french and refers to the age old art of cutting and layering paper cutouts for the purpose of decorating wooden boxes, chests, and other objects. This beautiful collection by Claire Pettibone is just that. It's a layering of chantilly lace and guipure, silks and vintage laces, flowers and other exquisite handmade details. What I loved the most was that the back of the dresses were just as heavenly as the front. Photographs by Anton Oparin.

BLACK WEDDING DRESSES: PANTORA BRIDAL

I have to admit that I've been a little obsessed with black wedding gowns every since Vera Wang showed a black wedding gown at her runway show during the last Bridal Fashion Week. So I adore this one by Pantora Bridal. Just go for it.

AFFORDABLE WEDDING DRESS: THE BEST WEDDING DRESS FOR UNDER $700

I am flabbergasted that this super gorg wedding dress is less than $700. Wedding planning aside, dress shopping is at the head of the class. You will get an A+ for beauty, style, and saving a pretty penny. The Angeline dress is another fabulous affordable wedding dress find at Ruche.

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DRESSES: LEGENDS BY ROMONA KEVEZA - SPRING 2014

The best part of wedding planning is definitely shopping for your wedding dress. If you are looking for a wedding dress that is very modern and full of glamour, then Legends by Romona Keveza has a gown for you. The Spring 2014 collection is a celebration of lace. Lace evokes femininity, beauty, and a delicate splendor. The silhouettes are very chic and stylish. You will surely make your guests gasp when you walk down the aisle.

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DRESSES: LELA ROSE WEDDING S/S14

Lela Rose is definitely one of my fav bridal designers. The RTW designer has been designing bridal gowns for some time. You can definitely see the whimsy and feminine details on her bridal gowns that you will find in her RTW collection. Without a doubt, the blush pink gown is my favorite. This is her S/S 2014 collection and will be available in salons in the next few months. So if you are early in your wedding planning, you have time.
