The Monique Lhuillier, "Aviva" is from the Platinum Collection, which is the highest end of Monique Lhullier's gowns. This cherry blossom long sleeve tulle ball gown with a tiered horsehair skirt and cherry blossom veil. Intricate beadwork is lavishly and artfullly placed on the dress to exude that classic fairytale look. The beadwork is also hand stitched into multiple layers of the tulle. As a result, the way the dress picks up the light whether from the sun or candlelight will give you a shimmering glow throughout your wedding day. Minimal jewellery is required because of the generosity of the beautfiful beadwork. Made of the finest fabrics, this dress is dreamy, elegant and timeless. Instead of leaving the shoulders bare, the illusion bateau neckline with sleeves gives you a polished, toned and flawless look. Worn only for few hours during the wedding ceremony and lunch reception, it is and will remain my most favourite dress.
