Elizabeth Fillmore, always a favourite with the style set, presented a stunning Spring 2013 collection inspired by (and perfect for) garden weddings. Blossoms, budding branches and vines accented gowns delicately crafted using guipure lace, silk, chiffon and laser-cut satin and adorned with intricate beadwork as well as vintage-inspired floral embroideries. Signature bias sheathes echo 1930’s elegance re-envisioned with a dreamy quality that’s distinctly Fillmore’s own.
