This A-line gown from Monique Lhuillier is going to push all the right buttons with a lot of brides. Firstly, the exquisite alencon lace blouse is going to appeal to those who want something modest or a more covered up style for a religious ceremony, the wide sash ensures it still looks modern whilst defining waists and adding an elegant splash of colour whilst the ballgown with cathedral train will give glamour and that ‘princess’ quality. I personally don’t like that ruche at the front of the skirt but at least it makes it a little different.
