Part of the JLM Couture group, the Alvina Valenta Fall 2010 collection is another abundant with floral details, ranging from small accent pieces to entire bodices covered in a bevy of blooms, not unlike those seen in the Jim Hjelm collection. The deep V halter necklines offer a glamorous look that shows off pretty shoulders, while the ballgowns generally have a sweet, youthful appeal. Standouts among the bridesmaid looks are the body-concious mermaid silhouette in luxe cobalt, the hip-hugging long, black skirt with wide waistband paired with a softly draped top and pretty two-tone halter design with a gathered floral neckline.~ Brooke ThomasCreative Director, Weddings Unveiled
