I’m trying to find a way to live in Monique Lhuillier’s mind or professionally wear her wedding dresses every day for the rest of my life. The queen of airy and romantic wedding dresses embraced the dark side of the fairy tale Alice in Wonderland for her Spring 2016 collection.

"My collection is very sensual and elegant, really pushing the limits," Lhuillier told The Knot. "I researched Alice in Wonderland references -- specifically the fantasy of it and darker elements. There's a lot of darkness, but also a lot of light. The gowns are extremely sensual, sultry and close to the body. I'm so excited to see them come to life. These gowns look at the naughty and nice side of a bride."

The combination of bold embellishments and moody hues with rich embroideries and deep necklines is perfect for any bride who wants to combine timeless romanticism with a modern edge.

“This Spring Collection is my ethereal daydream,” greeted the first sentence in the show notes at the Monique Lhuillier Spring 2015 bridal show. The collection — titled ‘My Eternal Daydream’ — was inspired by the works of painter, John Singer Sargent. Clouds of silk satin organza, tulle finishes, embroidered beading, and chantilly lace in beautiful, watercolor shades of pistachio, blush, and hydrangea created a whimsical world of fantasy and romance.
