Her designs are famed for their glamorous, luxurious and ultra-feminine aesthetic that also captures that romantic and whimsical allure - a combination to make the heart beat faster.

Monique's couture bridal gowns and ready-to-wear pieces are crafted using luxe fabrics, textures and exquisite construction, so every piece is like a wearable work of art.

The Fall 2020 Bridal collection is particularly breathtaking. The dresses boast bold colourful florals, botanical prints, and epic proportions with billowing sleeves and exaggerated trains.

Unfortunately, it can be hard to find these gorgeous gowns in Singapore. There is a bridal boutique in Singapore, Trinity Gallery, where you can purchase Monique Lhuillier gowns. However, they only stock the more classic and traditional bridal designs. And hold your breath for the price tag, for the gowns start from $5000.

While Monique Lhuiller's gowns are pretty expensive, there's another label, Teuta Matoshi, that has similar ethereal & princess-y dresses averaging about S$1400 each and ships to Singapore for free.
