~ Spring Weddings ~

 

Helsi Tessa Gown

It's so  hard to find a long sleeve dress of any length for spring let alone one that is lined. This style with appliques, offers feminine texture.

Embroidered Linen Coat & Dress 

 I always love a  dress and matching coat moment. The idea of it is so perfect for spring, when most of us need to be layered. The flowers are actually embroidered.

Alemais Marjorelle Maxi 

 Made from linen and silk, this dress is sure to be cool and comfy. It's all about those beaded sleeves. They will get the party started! P.S. I think i would lose the self tie belt.

Devore Trousers & Shirt

With the look of silk, but not,  it is a modern take on dinner party style. 30% off everything with Code: MNG30!

 Peony Lace Pullover Tunic

 Just what the Hostess With The Mostest needs! It's expensive, but you will own this for years to come. A special piece. I don't believe the belt comes with it. Wear your own or shop the Peony Gold Plated Belt.
