I'll take them.  The gown, the head acoutrement and definitely the confident attitude.  The muted make-up and bare nape spells 'exquisite' {with a capital 'E'}.

Oh lala

Know for her exquisite and edgy style, Collette Dinnigan's Spring 2010 Designer Evening line graced her recent runway show at Paris Fashion Week. Red Carpet worthy gown, is described by Collette as alluringly feminine piece that "expresses new freedom of spirit".

Can you say 'luxe'? How about wedding dress?

The look--clean,not fussy, all lady. Even the seemingly over plucked eyebrows get a nod. The coiff, every strand in place & defiant of all weather conditions. The pout, soft & crisp...loving the mat colour. And you have to love the soft, mysterious eyes bedecked by well-placed full yet wispy eyelashes.
For your special day, you may not want this look {I can't imagine why not}, but you definitely want this 'total package' look when you are presented as 'The Mrs' to the world.
