Evening Wear at Carine’s
So, yesterday I got my holiday Pottery Barn catalog (swoon) which made me realize that the holidays are just around the corner!? Can you believe it? With all of this cold weather, it certainly feels like it is time to start gushing over what to wear for upcoming elegant winter events.
One particularly beautiful line that we cannot wait to get our hands on over here at District Weddings is the Theia collection, which can be found at the exquisite Georgetown boutique, Carine’s Bridal Atelier…
The Theia collection is named after the Greek Goddess of Light. It was designed to bring out a woman’s inner Goddess through the finest fabrics, embroideries and silhouette. The ML Evening collection is an exquisite extension of Monique Lhuillier’s style. When asked about the line the designer said, “this is an important milestone for me – to bring my design sensibility to a larger demographic of women who seek glamorous, modern evening wear.”
The ML Evening collection offers gowns and cocktail dresses featuring Monique’s signature touches such as lace, embroidery, and draping. Both lines boast a wide range of pieces for many different styles and events.
From lace to beaded and embellished gowns, with these dresses the holiday season is sure to be filled with striking textures and shimmery metalics. Whether you are headed to a winter gala or you are the mother of the bride at a black tie affair, the season’s latest trends are to die for!
Bride Blogger Update: The Bridesmaid Dress

After finding my own dress, the hardest wedding style decision was choosing dresses for my two bridesmaids. That’s right, two bridesmaids. I can’t even imagine having to consider and please 5 or 6 bridesmaids with a dress choice! Yes, I realize it is my wedding and the choice is mine, but who wants miserable bridesmaids? After a few “almosts” I recently stumbled upon a great dress for my girls.

Choosing a makeup look for your wedding can be tricky. It has to last from the time you get ready through the last dance and look great in pictures and in person. Fortunately for you D.C. based brides, Carola Myers, the extremely talented makeup artist, shares her advice on what works best for the big day.
What advice do you have for brides when choosing a makeup look for the big day?
I usually advise brides to choose a look that makes them feel special and beautiful. Once they have an idea for their wedding day look, I can customize that look to best match their facial features. I also discuss and provide recommendations based on other factors such as the time of year, location, time of the wedding, and wedding theme or style. All these should be considered when determining the bridal makeup look.
