MONIQUE LHUILLIER
April 17, 2016
The Monique Lhuillier Spring 2017 collection was inspired by a woman madly in love, running through a garden. This romanticism translated into feminine silhouettes with lingerie-inspired elements. Sheer details, low backs and high slits added sensuality to the delicate gowns. The sod palette brought a combination of antique ivory and warm tones like rose and caramel. The effortless designs were perfect for a chic bohemian wedding.

Moroccanoil invited Sophisticated Weddings for a special look at Monique Lhuillier backstage, where we got to see the work of the incredible Kevin Hughes - hair designer and Moroccanoil's brand ambassador and creative director - whom created beautiful, effortless looks to complement the runway looks. The inspiration was the nymph-like feel in Monique's collection and the result is stunning.

MARCHESA
April 16, 2016
Sophisticated Weddings was backstage at the Marchesa fashion show. Hair stylist and Moroccanoil's Creative Ambassador Kevin Hughes, guided us through the romantic looks that were developed for the show.
Here's a step-by-step on how to get the models' gorgeous hairstyle!
Marchesa's Spring Summer 2017 collection was inspired by an enchanted garden with flourishing rosebuds and blossoming florals in the sunrise. The colors of the gowns reflected the inspiration, bringing beautiful shades of blush and nude to the mix of off-white dresses. Lightweight tulles, French Chantilly lace and 3D organza roses, contrasted with plunging necklines and peek-a-boo cut-outs giving a modern edge to very romantic designs.

The new season of "Say Yes To The Dress" just started, and you cannot miss the first episode! Typically at the end of each show, a real wedding of one of the brides is featured.
