2011 Angel Sanchez bridal couture

This season Angel Sánchez gave me a gift.  What was it? The gift of a photographers’ angel.  I caught a glimpse of the models backstage as well as an understandably nervous Angel peeking out from behind the partition looking into the crowd. Of course you don’t expect a man who has created countless collections would still get nervous but I think it simply shows his humility and charm.  Angel Sánchez is a designer who is passionate about his designs, a superstar in the industry yet extremely humble and modest.

So who is the Angel Sánchez bride?  She is confident in her own skin.  She loves being a woman and her femininity shows in everything she wears.  Most importantly, she is a woman who wears the dress, not the other way around.

Modified ball gowns and trumpet skirts with detailed accents ruled the collection. The banded skirt and a beautiful keyhole neckline is my personal favorite.  Angel spoke at an event just two nights prior and wondered aloud what the reaction of this collection would be.  I can say, at least for me…Perfection.
