I know right?! I was blown away by the ethereal romantic beauty of these wedding dresses. While I know she is not local, she is a hop over the border in New York City. Her 2012 collection is truly outstanding for the modern romantic bride looking for something out of the ordinary. I can’t wait to see one of these in person!
