THE RECEPTION DRESS

New York designer Amsale turned out an excellent ad campaign followed by six little gems she added to her Fall 2009 collection christened, 'The Little White Dress'. Since then, the short wedding dress has really taken off, most designers adding at least a couple to their to their 2010 collection. Besides being versatile as a wedding dress option, 'The Little White Dress' is ideal for making an entrance at your bridal shower, engagement party, rehearsal dinner, reception and of course, the honeymoon.

One of my favorite models, Natalie, is tying the knot this month and here she is in a great example of the reception or rehearsal dress. When Natalie came to me she had a particular design in mind, a full white tulle skirt reminiscent of a ballerina. When I dreamed up the tank-style bodice adorned with three hand-crafted florals, it was to accentuate her particular body type as well as appeal to Natalie's pure sense of romanticism.

And speaking of a true-blue couple of hopeless romantics, here she is with Dave costumed as a returning WWII GI. I'd like to take this time to congratulate Natalie and Dave on their 2009 wedding and wish them both a wonderful journey through life together . . . .
