Carolina Herrera

Last stop, Carolina Herrera. She has very glamorous gowns, all beautifully detailed. I also loved how she used unexpected fabrics for some of her wedding dresses. Tried on a few during my visit there this morning and felt best in two gowns.

First, this white chiffon gown with gold beading and embroidery. It was so comfortable and looked gorgeous on me. PLUS it is one-of-a-kind. CH decided it would be too expensive to mass produce, so they only have the sample that they made for the runway show. I really like that it is unique and it has bling... But it doesn't look as good in pics as it did in person.


This other one is WOW in person and WOW in photos as well. It is hand painted, hand beaded, and embellished with tiny origami silk flowers. My only concern is that it is really heavy and I am not sure if it overpowers me. That's something mumsy will need to weigh in on when she visits.

  1. The one piece runway gown is more of an evening gown than a wedding gown, but sure is pretty. The 2nd one is better appreciated in these photos than in the wedding photos. Again, will it look as gorgeous nighttime? Will the details still stand out or be washed out by the photographer's lights? But yes, both are gorgeous.
