Be still my design and fashion loving heart. I just ran across Israeli designer Inbal Dror a few weeks ago and was stopped in my tracks. Wedding gowns are all all gorgeous but the lines, the soft but graphic quality of the silhouette are all stunning. Just stunning.

When I lived in Brooklyn, the BBG was a favorite place to visit! We did many weddings there, each different but inspired by the lush surrounding gardens.
