The latest season of bridal shows began on Friday, and already we are mildly concerned with what we see. While
really big name Badgley Mischka is, um, one of the
really biggest names in this market, I found the whole collection to be 1) ugly 2) dated and 3) kitschy. Seriously, the
Disney bridal dresses looked better than this shit. Monique Lhuillier, who is what Vera Wang was 10 years ago (aka the choice of "cool" brides who don't have to worry about money), offered a much better showing, her looks markedly sophisticated and tasteful and "modern' on the whole. Maybe it was just the choice of models, but something about it, though, left me with a funny taste of "child bride" in my mouth. The collections for your review, after the jump.

Fashion Show: Monique Lhuillier
When you think Monique Lhuillier, you think "pretty dresses," and she rarely disappoints. Sure, there were the few obligatory 80s silhouettes, a dash of jet-set resort, but there's a reason the Filipina designer is a Big Name in Bridal: her gowns are unabashedly romantic, Grace Kelly-worthy confections. Thing lace, think bows, think the fantasy getup you'd wear if you were going to, I don't know, that New Year's Eve ball they have in Vienna. Basically, any event more formal than anything you'll ever go to. It's getting to be that time of the afternoon when we can all use a pick-me-up: have some spun sugar!
