Just as exciting as the glimpses we are beginning to get of the new 2015 collections of wedding dresses (did you see Delphine Manivet‘s?? Brimming with timelessly elegant gowns, flowing bohemian dresses, short but chic designs – and even the ever so on trend trouser ensemble! It really is a must see) is the unveiling of the latest…
