the photos are amazing but i went to a friends wedding where she and her sisters all wore these same elie saab dresses and each one was in a different shade. it was amaaaaaazing to see all that detailed work up close and the colours of the dresses inspired the whole wedding theme. so magical
thanks
Wow this makes me want to get married! And the turquoise is the same color as my bed room walls. Can I maybe get married in my bedroom…..hmm Thanks for a fantastic blog!
OMG! All these dresses are GORGEOUS! I am loving the mint green and the light pink colors and if I were redoing my wedding, I could get married in each dress and feel like a princess =)
love them reminds me of Javanese kabaya. Elegant glamour! The colors are totatally spring 2012
the dresses are so beautiful and the models look stunning. love everything about the collection
wow, what absolutely beautiful dresses. I love the sea-foam green ones. If only I had somewhere to wear something like that!
triannas treasures — thanks so much & also, for catching the typo :) can you believe you’re the only person who has noticed it? more unbelievable, it passed my very critical eye . .. perhaps am running a little low on beauty sleep
I always love your posts they are great at transporting me to stunning places. These dresses are lovely, Elie Saab makes women look so feminine. Just so you know there is a typo in your title…
What a privilege it would be to see these masterpieces up close, or better yet, to wear one!!! Elie Saab is truly my favorite designer!

These dresses are absolutely stunning, and oh how elegant a simple ponytail can be! Often I love the backstage photos just as much as the runway photos — so inspired by this post, thank you!

GOR-GEOUS!
Those mint green dresses are absolutely dreamy :)
Beautiful.
Oh wow those colors are incredible especially that mint green it has to be my new favourite color so fresh for spring. Simple hair and make up really puts the focus on the gowns, eventhough they are so elaborate the overall look is modern. Its hard to pick a favourite from this collection .. who am I kidding I want them all!
this looks like a fairy tale. you’re right about elie saab’s show being a kind of magic.
LOvely.. i love the colours.. so romantic and beautiful
Gorgeous. I love the pony tails!
SO elegant! Love the colors! Wish I was at a party where ALL women wore dresses from this collection, just because that party would look so GOOD!!! :) xo
I have become hopelessly addicted to your tumbler site and blog…finding myself wasting hours prowling your site!!!
Backstage for me is the real action although this shoot appear without the usual controlled chaos, which is so much fun to be a part of!!
Elie Saab’s collection is dreamy the pastel colour palette so elegant! Love the wrapped ponytail..
