Bo & Luca, LAUREL

An enduring fit and flare gown featuring a daring cowl back and sheer long sleeves, finished with a delicate wrist frill. The bodice of the LAUREL gown is decorated with a botanically-inspired, pearlescent hand beaded design, while strategically placed godet insets add volume and movement to the tulle skirt.

The standard skirt length from the waist to floor is 120cm, it is suggested that brides have this taken up according to their shoes once the gown is fitted. This dress has not been altered from the original design.

This dress was purchased in 2021 for a wedding that did not go ahead, original retail AU$6,000. This is a discontinued style and is no longer available from Bo and Luca. I can only find one other dress of this style available online in a smaller size. The only time it has been worn is to try it on. It has been professionally packed and stored by MyDressbox Australia for preservation.

The matching veil is still available on their website: https://www.boandluca.com/products/laurel-veil

About Bo and Luca:
Bo & Luca goes beyond mere material, it translates art and beauty into the tangible medium of fabric, using artisan skills and ancient craftsmanship steeped in the world of bridal couture. Influenced by the romance of bohemia, our signature slow luxury aesthetic is grounded in traditional artisan techniques, uncomplicated styling and easy elegance.

Our couture gowns are made, hand-beaded and hand-dyed in our quiet Atelier in India. Using an ancient Indian technique known as Tambour, each bead is carefully hand-sewn onto the finest silk by local master craftsmen and women over a three to six-month process. The entire process celebrates the feminine and carefree romanticism which only delicate hand-beading, embroidery, and hand-dyeing can emulate. Incorporating this age-old technique into each design produces a finer, more intricate, and higher quality result than machine beading, which is a more favored method in modern garment manufacturing..

Bo & Luca encourages handmade creations and intertwines this value into each gown created under our diffusion brand, Temple. Whilst many Temple Gowns are created in our Indian ateliers, the recent partnership with our European atelier has allowed us to diversify our offering into commercially viable gowns which appeal to our valued boheme bride with a reduced budget. Temple allows inclusivity and ensures that more brides can make the dream of being a Bo & Luca bride a reality.
