Based in Lebanon, but stocked all over Ireland and the UK, Gemy Maalouf is fast becoming a name to know  among the international bridal designers. Her ultra feminine, amazingly detailed and fashion forward wedding dress designs are quite something to behold, and proving a huge hit with any who see them - we spotted Gemy's wedding dresses at the White Gallery in London recently and were wowed by the sheer glamour - these are real showstopper gowns, perfect for the bride looking to make that walk down the aisle a hold-your-breath moment...

Although probably a name you're not familiar with, Gemy Maalouf is a hugely successful fashion designer for many years, but only launched her beautiful bridal line in 2004 to offer innovative and exciting designs to more fashion-conscious brides.

The Gemy Maalouf 2014 bridal collection uses very romantic and feminine fabrics as well as incredible detailing. Heavy embellishments, exquisite trimmings and gorgeous appliqué accents all feature as well as more fashion forward detailing like symmetrically draped peplums, unexpected sheer panels and inserts, statement backs and innovative fabric pairings.

The "Beside Couture by Gemy" collection is also worth a mention, this more affordable non-bridal collection has some gorgeous styles in ivory and white as well as some beautiful coloured gowns for the bride looking for something a little different or perfect for some very glam bridesmaids dresses!

Gemy Maalouf is also available from selected bridal boutiques all across Ireland including Myrtle Ivory in Dublin, The White Room in Mullingar and Lilac Rose in Limerick.

Prices start at around €1,800 and go up to €3,800.
