Every now and then I come across a wedding dress that stops me in my tracks. This is one of them. If I had my wedding to do over, I might need this dress. The long lace sleeves are so pretty, yet modest, but the off the shoulder style keeps it sexy and young.
For someone who has been stalking wedding trends for as long as I can remember, I don't know how Rosa Clara escaped my radar. Her designs are fresh and unique and her fiesta dresses are to die for. I'm particularly taken with her use of black accents and even a few black wedding dresses. Not sure I would wear one, but I admire the bride who will take that fashion risk.
This vintage inspired veil and clip is so gorgeous. It has the simple appeal of a mantilla, but I like that it's clipped back and not draped over the head as is usually the style with mantilla veils. The frothy pink dress below gets my vote for an alternative to the big white gown. You can check out the rest of the 2011 catwalk show in the video at the end of this post...let me know what you think. xoxo Cindi

If I redid my wedding that one with the black ribbon would definitely be a contender!

I really like the black accents...did you watch the video? There is one bride wearing long black gloves with her dress and it's so chic! :)

I love the first dress with its long lace sleeves. It is perfect! I have been looking for it but have not found it anywhere. Can you tell me where you found that picture? Do you know more information about that dress? Thanks!

Do you have a link or know where I can find the top dress (the one with the long sleeve lace)?

The long sleeve dress is seriously gorgeous! If you click the Rosa Clara link in the post, you'll be taken to the website where there is a "Where To Buy" link. Looks like the only places in the US are in Dallas and Miami. Hope that helps!
