We are gathered here today to celebrate the union between flower girls and wedding dress designer Caroline DeVillo.

After melting hearts with her classic Hollywood-inspired bridal gowns, DeVillo has spread the love to little aisle walkers (ages 2 and up) by launching Kiddy Cocktail dresses. Vowing to focus on simple and elegant silhouettes, she turns out silk confections with lace appliques, gathered skirts, and even polka dots. Everything from necklines to sashes is customizable.

Rejoice in this heavenly match at DeVillo’s Bucktown studio, where she does fittings and consults by appointment.

If anyone opposes this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Didn’t think so.

Available at Caroline DeVillo Couture, 1616 North Damen Avenue, at North Avenue, suite 301 (773-342-0096 or carolinedevillo.com).
