Oh wow those colors are incredible especially that mint green it has to be my new favourite color so fresh for spring. Simple hair and make up really puts the focus on the gowns, eventhough they are so elaborate the overall look is modern. Its hard to pick a favourite from this collection .. who am I kidding I want them all!

With love... said...

Beautiful.

A Bit of Sass said...

These dresses are absolutely stunning, and oh how elegant a simple ponytail can be! Often I love the backstage photos just as much as the runway photos -- so inspired by this post, thank you!
