Linea Raffaelli: Dress Designer Extraordinare

Yesterday I was randomly searching for wedding dresses (doesn't everyone do that in their spare time?!) when I came across a Belgian designer I had never heard of – Linea Raffaelli. For those of you who HAVE heard of Linea Raffaelli, bear with me. For those of you who haven't, boy do I have a treat for you. Looking at these dresses was love at first sight for me! They are so incredible beautiful, modern and fun. The unique textures and colors of this line are such a breath of fresh air in a market where everything can kind of start to look the same. These styles definitely stand out – in a great way. I love the playfulness, the whimsy, and the gorgeously crafted couture feeling that these dresses have. I want, I want, I want.

Here's just a few of my favorites. What do you think? Are you as in-love as I am?

Let's face it – one of the best things about planning a wedding is picking out your dress. It's probably the prettiest thing you'll ever wear. But, it can also be one of the most stressful things. After all, every girl wants her dress to be perfect. And with so many dresses out there to choose from, the task can be extremely daunting. I know that I had a hard time deciding what kind of look I wanted. Granted, I did know the my dress was MY dress the second I put it on. But it was still a stressful process. What shape will look best on me? Do I want lace? Satin? Strapless? Tea-length? One-shoulder? Ivory? White?...See what I mean? Scary.

If you're still looking for that perfect dress, or you're just starting to weigh your options, have a look at some of these beauties. The great thing is that they're pictures of REAL brides in them, not models. That way you can get a feel for how the dress really looks.

And, I've included a link under each set of pictures telling you the designer of the dress, in case you want to go find it yourself!

Which is your favorite?
