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.

Reem Acra’s Spring 2016 bridal collection — “Everybody Is a Star” — featured dramatic plunging necklines, swaths of organza, and sheer illusion bodices while emphasizing the designer’s trademark intricate detailing in effortlessly romantic silhouettes. Sparkling lace embroidery all day, every day.

Reem Acra can do no wrong as evidenced by the BOSSY GALS Pinterest board, ‘Reem Acra Is My Religion.’
