The Dress

I shopped for a year and tried on over 100 dresses; believe me when I say I found the perfect one. I kept saying "I want something breathtaking and unique" and that is the only way to describe this gown.

This gives you the best of both worlds: a flattering trumpet silhouette to show off your shape and an elegant skirt that makes you feel like a princess. Intricate ivory lace beading is shown off beautifully by the contrast with the soft gold/blush color and the subtle glitter sequins sewn into the beading throughout make you look like you are shimmering without needing over-the-top "bling." Skirt comes on and off in seconds with the beautiful beaded belt. The way it moves while you dance is unbelievable. And because of the shape, you can actually sit comfortably in it! This is basically the unicorn of wedding dresses.

Alterations

Never hemmed; bustles added to both the gown and the skirt and some illusion tulle removed at neckline. Gown bustle was carefully designed to still showcase the incredible contrasting back panel of the dress. I am including the hoop that allows you to decide on the amount of "poof" and saves you from needing to get it hemmed (depending on your height - I am 5'8") as well as keeping you cool underneath the dress. There's a very good chance that you will not need to make any further alterations, saving you a ton of money!
