For No Reason Except It's Just Beautiful: Carmen Marc Valvo

I love any dress by Carmen Marc Valvo but this one is exquisite. See his entire collection here.

The Sheer Beauty of Augusta Jones

There is much beauty in the Augusta Jones line of wedding dresses. Their style is defined by contemporary clean lines with a twist. The company was started in 1999 by Charlotte Leung. She was born in Denmark to a Danish mother and British Chinese father and she divides her time living and working between London and Hong Kong. Her dresses are magnificent. It was hard to choose between her gorgeous designs but here are my favorites (the second one is my absolute fav):

Invasion of the French: Anne Valerie Hash

As you guys know, I am always looking for something different. So I stumbled upon French designer Anne Valerie Hash recently. She is a hit with me. I love how she pushed the envelope and still managed to make dresses that are very feminine, especially if you have a great pair of legs. Here are my favs from her Spring/Summer '08 collection.

More Beauty from Hanna Touma

Here are a few lovelies from his bridal collection. Just wonderful. No words. Visit his site.

The Beauty Overflows: Hanna Touma

OMG! I have once again stumbled upon a designer who is so amazing that I am at a loss for words. Enter Hanna Touma. He is the toast of Lebanon. His designs are much sought after in the Middle East and I completely understand why. A woman wants to make jaws drop when she enters a room and you will do just that with one of his dresses. The first dress is my absolute favorite. You can see his enter 07-08 collection here. Here are my favorites (I had so many):

What to Change into at your Reception

Here are some to die for dresses from Lebanese designer, Abed Mahfouz. My jaw dropped when I saw these images for the first time. I just sat at my computer and said very quietly, "I want one!" These dresses would make the perfect change for your reception. These will stop your guests in their tracks. You can see the entire fabulous collection on his site at: Abed Mahfouz.

Here are my favs:
