The April gown is one of those favorites still adored by brides today. This soft mermaid silhouette wedding gown is made with French embroidery with ivory, silver, and blush blossoms, lined with luscious pearl silk. The open back highlights your curves, while delicate cherry blossoms adorn the bodice for an ultra romantic nod to springtime. I designed this dress to represent Spring as part of The Four Seasons collection, and it has truly stood the test of time throughout many seasons of weddings! In fact, we're busy finishing alterations for one of our October brides right now! 
The Cora gown, with her antique French embroidered tulle, is steeped in vintage flare while flaunting a modern silhouette. This gown was designed for The Gilded Age collection, and brides continue to fall in love with Cora's intricate cap sleeves, scalloped lace V neckline, and the best part: the artfully embroidered sheer illusion back! This wedding dress silhouette is flattering for many, and timeless for any bride who wears it. This old world gown can be lined with platinum silk as shown, or with one of our other stunning silk colors...I'm still waiting for a bride to choose this one in our signature bridal blue! 
Oh Kristene, a gown I'll keep close to my heart forever. Kristene was the very first wedding gown I ever designed for a very good friend. The couture dress features a sheath silhouette, charming lace droplets that dangle when you move and dance, and a dramatic low sheer back. There's a reason this gown has received so much love over the years. Unique and flattering as ever, Kristene is an oldie but a goodie! This gown epitomizes one of my favorite mash-ups: Sexy-Victorian, which of course, isn't a thing, because the Victorians were very buttoned up, but in my world, I like to mix things up a bit, so there's also a dose of Roaring 20's in there too with that fringe Guipure lace. I think that's part of the secret of making vintage inspired feel modern...my dresses are not historical replicas, they are designed for real, vibrant women who have a love and appreciation for things past. 
You can feel like a bride on your wedding day while also feeling like yourself. Yes, have your cake and eat it too! Whether you prefer a touch of color, something a little vintage, or something completely unique, I can guarantee one of our gowns will make those bridal dreams come true! And speaking of bridal dreams, this whole floral and décor extravaganza is BEYOND, so bravo to the team below!
