Now not only can brides wear Monique Lhuillier‘s swoon-worthy creations down the aisle, but the whole bridal party — and even the guests — can get in on the action, too.
Thanks to a licensing agreement with Group JS International, the famed Los Angeles-based bridal designer is launching three new bridge collections for the 2011 market at relatively affordable prices.
“To bring my design sensibility to a larger demographic of women who seek glamorous, modern eveningwear is an important milestone for me,” Lhuillier, who recently designed Carrie Underwood’s wedding dress and Reese Witherspoon’s wedding dress said in a statement.
The first two wedding-themed collections — including ML Bridesmaids — will be devoted to outfitting one’s bridal party. The collection will retail under $200 exclusively at Nordstrom. The third new line, ML Monique Lhuillier Evening Collection, is filled with evening gowns (starting at $595), cocktail dresses (starting at $395), and separates ($295 and up) and will be sold at major department and specialty stores worldwide in early 2011.
One strapless bridesmaids stunner comes in iridescent moss green with a bow-cinched waist and delicately pleated neckline, while a chic navy version has a halterneck (á la new bride Anna Paquin’s wedding dress) and beautiful crisscross draping on the bust. Others come in more girly hues, including a pale pink V-neck frock with origami folds. (all shown above)
Of course, this isn’t the first time Lhuillier has tread in more affordable waters. Check out her lower-priced (well, $2,500-$3,500) bridal line, Bliss by Monique Lhuillier.
Happy planning {and window shopping!}
