This dress from the ‘Rock’n'Roll Bride 2009 collection has taken the corsage and sash detailing and given them a cool update with black tulle over a strapless overlaid dress. The monochrome look is softened by the pretty translucent lace and the tulle sash is a light and breezy way to use a heavy colour.
