Whilst we may always be able to rely on Vera Wang to push the boundary for bridal design (the queen of bridal couture will forever be the first choice for daring brides), there is one designer known for her ethereally beautiful, dreamily embellished and flawlessly tailored gowns and that is Monqiue Luillier.
