More from Myriah… My husband, Christopher, is an environmental lawyer and I am a fashion designer (I’ve worked for Lela Rose, Ralph Lauren, and have recently started my own children’s wear line).

Have you checked out Douglas Hannant's Spring 2011 collection? Not only are the gowns long-lined and stunning, the hair is topped off with a floral arrangement.
