Le Bal 2014

Travel
Dec 9, 2013

I haven’t been back to Le Bal des Debutantes since I debuted in 2009, so I was excited to be able to cover the debs backstage as they prepared for this once in a lifetime evening!   The dresses, the debs, the setting!  It was all so stunning! I couldn’t wait to share these photos with you.  I have to admit, It was much less nerve wracking to be a correspondent of sorts as opposed to being an actual debutante this year. The beautiful debs were absolutely visions of grace and poise.
