Happy Monday.. Happy President’s Day or Happy Family Day depending on where you are!!! We are looking at the Rosa Clará 2012 Spring Bridal Gown Collection. I must say I went through one gorgeous dress after another.. it was literally impossible to choose a few favourites. MAKE SURE you go scout the collection cause your favourite may not even be in the ones I have chosen. You can check there website for the collection ! Not only do they have gorgeous gowns but they really captured the spring season. They have dresses with light jackets or sleeves that accommodate the warming but still slightly cool spring season! They also added some pastel coloured gowns that despite being pink and blue still look like wedding gowns and don’t have that bridesmaid feel you often get when colours involved (although we here love colour!). Exquisite detailing in this collection, unique fabrics and the lace patterns are to die for! Our FavouriteS this week emphasizing the S lol.. Are the Bahamas, ...
