Qualities that are also present in Sublime Gestures , their new bridal collection that can now be seen Online . At a time when mixing opposites works and is especially popular, the Colombian designer wanted to play with contrasts and combine, in each design, seemingly antagonistic options.

I have to admit, I love the daytime weddings because, although the protocol It indicates that long dresses and anything sparkly are not allowed, but a fascinator is perfectly acceptable. This accessory instantly elevates your look, so you can wear a simple dress without worrying about looking underdressed. The best part is that there are countless options: from oversized wide-brimmed hats to headbands for those who prefer something less flashy. One of my latest obsessions? The fascinator.
