Today in lower-priced diffusion lines, Monique Lhuillier has announced that she'll be launching a secondary bridal collection called Bliss. Ranging in price from $2,500 to $3,900, StyleList reports "the line will offer dresses in the best lace, organza and silk, featuring both ML's signature embellishments and flair for fashion, but priced for the masses." Seeing as her main line's wedding gowns can top out at a cool $10,000, these seem like a relative bargain. [StyleList]
