Laura's dress from the waist down is quite stunning. The detailing around her shoulders and underneath her arms is interesting, but for me I would have liked a more width around her collar area.

I'm still not a fan of the placement of her tiara. I understand the look she was going for, but still almost four years later, it still doesn't work for me. Then again, it doesn't matter what I think.

GT, you're right, now you mention it, the bottom half of the dress is exquisite.

Actually I really like this bride overall. I guess that's for one thing because I'm into the 1920's look. But the veil IS stunning there's no question about that.

That and Laura was brave to change the goal post on such a traditional occasion in such a traditional circle of society.

The two things I don't like is the fact the bride hardly smiles in the pictures and that the flowers have long stems.

I am not quite sure whether the man in picture number five is from the Bulgarian royal family, I think that he is Don Juan Gomez-Acebo, the brother of the groom...Still I am not fully sure.
