Oooh it was going to be pretty tough to top yesterday’s post for gown gorgeousness – Karen Willis Holme’s 2013 Collection really is breathtaking….. but if any designer can be trusted to create a collection that exudes luxury and is packed full of wow, it is Monique Lhuillier!

Monique’s innate sense of style and understanding of every woman’s wish to look and feel beautiful are prevalent throughout every design in her 2014 Collection, in which she has set out to create every bride’s dream dress. From the royal inspired bride (with elegant long sleeves) or the eloping bride, to the bride happy to play with a little colour; there is a Monique Lhuillier dress for you all, each infused with femininity and exquisite details…….

How gorgeous is that wrap and the neckline it creates??….

Long sleeves continue to create sublimely sleek silhouettes and are abundant in Monique’s 2014 collection – I am truly over the moon that it appears to be a trend that isn’t going anywhere any-time soon!

There was an increased selection of chic and super cute shorter dresses for the bride looking for something a little daring, retro or perfect for an intimate venue or elopement……

I love this nod to Audrey…. makes me wish I had had a going away outfit!!

A real feature of the collection, on both short and long gowns is the bridal cover up. With Monique completing her designs with a range of beautiful bridal coats, capes and shawls that truly complete the entire look……

Monique like no other designer creates gowns with the most alluring necklines (illusion to boat and more traditional strapless) and imaginative silhouettes (ballgown, column, floor length or short); each design offers something new and enthralling and all finished with a flourish and a sprinkling of the details synonymous with Monique Lhuillier….

Oh I can’t even begin to choose a favourite design, can you?? But this is definitely my favourite 2014 Collection of the season so far – more for you next week though!
