Molto Bella: Le spose di Gio

When I was getting married, I saw this dress in a bridal magazine and decided that this was absolutely going to be my wedding dress. Well, that so did not work out. At that time, Le spose di Gio did not sell dresses in the U.S. Trust me, I emailed the company to find out what I had to do, just short of flying to Italy, to get this dress. It was highly unsuccessful. But I still love this dress and all of their dresses. Now, the fabulous Mark Ingram's Bridal Atelier in NYC carries these Italian works of art. Visit their web site to view this amazing collection of dresses. These are my favorites.
