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!

Evening Collections at Carine’s

I often talk about wedding dresses and bridesmaid attire but realize that I overlook an irreplaceable woman, the Mother of the Bride. Also know as “MOB”.

Carine, a total fashion show-stopper and owner of Carine’s Bridal Atelier, tells us what is out there and in style this upcoming season for evening wear…so very suitable MOB options!

The ML Evening collection (pictured above) 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.

The trends for Fall 2011 and this Holiday season feature brushed metallics and luxurious textures through laces and brocades. From pewter to soft bronze fabrics or re-embroidered lace to  fully beaded gowns, women are sure to be shining this coming season.
