Iconic bridal designer Monique Lhuillier is all about romance and style. With ethereal fabrics, chic silhouettes, and easy elegance, these gowns are both timeless and of-the-moment. Monique Lhuillier is the designer of choice for celebrities and discerning brides the world over, and both the Collection and Bliss lines are available in Colorado exclusively at Little White Dress Bridal Shop.
Worn by a multitude of celebrity brides, the name Monique Lhuillier is synonymous with bridal luxury. Monique Lhuillier has risen from relative anonymity in the fashion world to become not only a bridal power house, but a frequent designer seen on actresses appearing on the the red carpet at events like the Emmys and Oscars, and on political figures like Michelle Obama.
Lhuillier, who stated in her high school year book she wanted to be a designer, began her career in fashion while studying at the Fashion Institute for Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. Later, while searching for a wedding gown for herself, the Filipina designer realized how difficult it could be to find a finely fashioned, couture bridal gown.
In 1996 the Monique Lhuillier label was formed with her husband, fusing her interest in special occasion and bridal wear with her natural attraction to high fashion couture gowns. She often states that she wished to be a pampered bride, but is now quite content to pamper them herself!
Lhuillier’s signature wedding designs feature flattering shapes with a healthy dose of red carpet glamour and style yet remain well suited for the wedding aisle. For many, a Monique Lhuillier is a fantasy gown replete with all the feminine touches like delicate lace, corsets and intricate embroidery – details which show up often collection after collection.
All production and design for her dresses are done in Los Angeles, and the designer prides herself on the fine workmanship and care taken when producing a gown. Luxury is found in typical bridal fabrics like organza, tulle and silk, but uniqueness is woven in by the occasional use of furs, Venetian lace and jacquard knits. Subtle yet detailed beading, complex pleating and origami-style folds add interest, and demonstrate the thoughtful handiwork of the seamstresses and designer herself.
The bride who wears timeless gown by Monique Lhuillier is most likely a sophisticated, if slightly romantic, woman who prefers understated opulence and modern luxury. The gowns would be equally at home at weddings in glamorous estate and mansion venues as well as classic church, country club and even garden settings.
The General Collection price range is between $4,900 and $12,900 for a new dress, whereas the General Bliss Collection price range is $2,900 and $4,900. To save on these prices, you can shop for used and sample Monique Lhuillier wedding dresses here.

Vera Wang has gone cowgirl. Few designers are more closely associated with New York, but on a Zoom call, Wang insisted she’s not unfamiliar with the American frontier. As an aspiring Olympian, she was a summer skater in Aspen and other points west. Her memories of family trips to those places, mixed with a fair bit of lockdown-time wanderlust and old-movie watching (Urban Cowboy, Val Kilmer in Tombstone), sparked her imagination. Her new collection is a mix of “saloon girl” dresses with puff sleeves, hip-high slits, spills of ruffles, and the occasional bare back and lace capes, bustiers, and peignoirs.
