The Dress

I tried on this dress and instantly fell in love with the romance and elegance of Elora. The dress has a delicate floral overlay on layers of ivory tulle and finishes with a buttery soft mocha colored satin base layer.

I originally purchased this dress for a large ocean side wedding venue however, we changed plans (due to Covid-19 travel restrictions) and eloped in the mountains. Therefore, I only wore the dress for approximately 3 hours, for the ceremony and photo shoot ONLY. There were no other guests present and we did not have a dinner or dance in this dress.

No alterations were made to the dress (that's correct - ZERO alterations have been made to this dress), it is exactly as it was when I picked it up brand new from the wedding dress boutique earlier this year. I was very fortunate that the dress fit me like a glove, the dress is true to size as I am a street size 6, I vary between 135-140 lbs and am 5'6'' (I wore approximately 3'' heels).

The sleeves are easy to attach and detach, I wore the sleeves for the ceremony and removed them for the portraits.

If I knew we were going to elope I would have purchased a much simpler dress however, I purchased this as my dream wedding dress and with such drastic changes to our wedding day I can say with full confidence this dress was the best decision I made (aside from the groom of course!). I'm so happy I have these memories and photos of such a stunning gown, it truly became more beautiful every moment I wore it.
