Bows, beads, and loads of lovely lace, tulle, and alluring illusion fabric, Monique Lhuillier's Spring 2013 bridal collection is all about romance, fantasy, and feeling like a fairy tale princess. And guess what?? Like Reem Acra, Monique Lhuillier went for versatility this season, incorporating several convertible pieces (I.e. detachable trains and bridal boleros) for brides looking to personalize their white aisle looks. But if you'd prefer a second dress for the wedding reception rather than a convertible bridal gown, Monique has you covered there too! Monique Lhuillier via WWD
