Elena Novias, Athens Collection #623

This was the perfect dress for my elopement and micro-wedding in Redwood National Park. It's custom made to my measurements but I am a size 16 and 5'4. I chose this dress because it was the perfect blend of glam (sequins, beading, and sparkle) with nature (flowers, leaf print).

The details make this dress truly unique and one-of-a-kind. Check out the video for the beautiful embroidery, sequins, and more!

It's an a-line silhouette. The top has built in cups (I'm a C cup) and is sheer enough to be able to see your skin, but the floral patterns and beadings make sure you don't feel completely exposed.

There is beading around the waist.

The bottom part of the dress is solid ivory, with multiple layers of fabric. The bottom has a light sparkle that picks up sunlight and movement beautifully but doesn't feel gaudy or too glittery.

The back of the dress has stretchy buttons for the perfect fit.

I wore this dress for my elopement in Redwood National Park. It poured on our wedding day, and the bottom of the dress got muddy which honestly means the dress had a great day! It has been cleaned and preserved, and honestly looks pretty good! If you're staring at the under layers of the dress, you can tell this dress has played in nature, but the good part is that the under part of the dress is the part that got muddy, and you really can't tell with the dress on. I included photos as well as video capturing this!

This dress thrives in unique wedding scenarios like adventure elopements or would be perfect for your winter wedding.
