Franc Sarabia 2010 Bridal Collection
Franc Sarabia presents notes of romantic inspiration for a bride looking for airs of sophistication and elegance without going over the top. Colours impregnated with gentleness and sensuality in white tones and light textures.
We can allow ourselves to be captivated by an atmosphere of flowers; with the fragrances, the energy of jasmine, the opulence of tuberoses, the serene majesty of roses, the nerve of mimosa, nostalgic violets, fresh lily of the valley, passionate carnations and the Andalusian sweetness of orange blossom.
