Spring 2010 Monique Lhuillier Gowns

Brides are always looking to purchase the new and exciting. When discussing your wedding gown I am a firm believer that you must have a dress that fits your silhouette, and is simply stunning as you walk down the aisle. I am a fan of Monique Lhuillier wedding gowns and I am overly excited about her Spring line. Hey if you don't believe me......see for yourself.

Spotlight on Stone Manor Country Club in Middleton, Maryland located about 50 minutes outside of Washington, DC. The pictures only highlight some of the breathtaking views and scenery at this popular wedding venue. The estate house can accommodate weddings all year round and has an exquisite ballroom tent complete with carpeting and chandeliers. Take a look at their website http://www.stonemanorcountryclub.com/. How dare me not to mention the onsight spa and bed and breakfast. Sounds like the beginnings of a wonderful wedding weekend celebration to me.
