Monique Lhuillier, Azalea

For the bride who wants to feel like the most elegant and stunning version of herself on her special day, this Azalea gown by Monique Lhuillier is for you. An illusion halter neckline frames the décolletage with delicate lace, while the fitted silhouette hugs in all the right places before the trumpet silhouette gives way to a soft train. The all-over floral lace catches light beautifully — ethereal in a candlelit tent, striking against mountain meadows in fall and summer colors. It layers effortlessly: add a fur stole and it's colder-weather ready without losing an ounce of elegance. The lace-layered-on-illusion-mesh-slightly-asymmetrical-neckline adds a touch of modernity, making it perfect for the bride who wants to feel both classic, chic, and timeless. It is distinct and unforgettable.

One of my favorite parts is the sheer back, which creates a beautifully delicate contrast to the intricately embroidered front. This dress was altered to my body at a size 4-6 (see measurements below) and provided me with comfort throughout my wedding celebration, allowing me to dance and enjoy every moment.

I’m looking to pass this dress on to another bride-to-be who will create her own unforgettable memories in it. It has been dry-cleaned and is in excellent condition, ready for you to make it your own and wear it on your special day.
