When celebrities want to make a statement on the red carpet, they turn to Monique Lhuillier whose knockout evening wear packs a powerful punch. But Lhuillier actually started her line featuring wedding gowns only. When I married in 2002 I recall seeing her elegant and single silhoutettes with a hint of sparkle. She catered to the elegant bride who wanted simplicity with a gorgeous design. In the past few years her collection has exploded and when celebrities tie the knot they often turn to the beautifully crafted, romantic and whimsical gowns of designer Monique Lhuillier.

Lhuillier’s wedding dresses have been worn by A-listers including Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Britney Spears, Pink, Shanna Moakler, Ali Landry, Kevin Costner’s wife Christine Baumgartner and Heidi Montag-Pratt. Now, the brand is launching a more affordable bridal bridge collection, Bliss by Monique Lhuillier.

The line will offer dresses in the best lace, organza and silk, featuring Lhuillier’s signature embellishments, but priced for the masses. With gowns ranging from $2,300 to $3,500 this will offer the essence of her elegant bridal aesthetic at affordable prices considering her bridal collection starts at $3,500.

The collection of fifteen Bliss gowns will be available this fall at Monique Lhuillier retailers worldwide.
