Ms. Berte's designs are beautiful. I am disappointed that someone with a self-professed desire to design for a range of bodies uses a thin, white model in every picture. This is by no means uncommon in the wedding industry, or indeed the fashion industry. Ms. Berte would add a lot to the de-mystification of weddings, which are not only for the thin, white, and rich among us, if her models better reflected her admirable inclination to design in service of several body types.
Beautiful, fantastic, timeless. If only I were rich and blond! Thanks for sharing!
