Meet: Paloma

Designer: Wtoo by Watters

Why We Love Her:

Paloma is a sexy sheath gown perfect for the modern bride! A vine and leaf lace pattern cascades down the dress and draws attention with some subtle shimmer. An unlined bodice further emphasizes the lace as it pops against the bride’s skin tone. Beaded spaghetti straps rest atop the shoulders and transition into a gorgeous lined edging that adorns the plunging neckline. This same subtle sparkle is added as a belt at the natural waistline, creating a flattering focal point at the tiniest part of the waist!

The back of the gown is just as stunning as the front! A scooped back mimics the detail on the front bodice with the sparkle trim and illusion with lace held together with buttons. She has a delicate sweep train that is both lightweight and stunning. This is a gown that will keep brides cool and comfortable all night long while she celebrates the best day of her life!

She’s Perfect For:

Brides with venues like gardens, wineries, and golf courses would find Paloma to be the perfect choice for them! She lends herself to weddings with boho and outdoor components perfectly due to her leafy lace and gorgeous blush underlay. The blush colors blends perfectly with greenery and foliage while the ivory lace ties the look together.

Due to her unique coloring, Paloma also is the perfect gown for brides planning to have a bouquet of vibrant colors! Whether you choose her in the ivory and blush color way or the full ivory, this wedding dress will easily fit into the desired color palette without overwhelming the entire look. A bouquet of vibrant fall colors (orange, burgundy, etc) would look incredible with the gown in the blush color way while colors like blues and lighter greens would suit the ivory gown!

Why She’s Special:

There are many qualities of Paloma that make her special! One of our favorite qualities that makes her different from other gowns is how lightweight she is. This gown will feel like you are wearing nothing! This is one of the most low maintenance gowns in terms of weight and the ability to move freely. The best part is that the bride does not need to sacrifice beauty for comfort because Paloma does it all!

Another special quality about Paloma is that she can be ordered with a lined bodice for the bride who wants just a touch more coverage. There is no extra charge to have the bodice lined. The gown can also be ordered in a long sleeve version for brides who are looking for sleeves for a fall or winter wedding! The dress looks identical to the sleeveless version gown but a lace and thin tulle sleeve is attached to the spaghetti strap. With all the ways to make her your own, this beautiful dress by Watters‘ Wtoo collection is a great choice for any bride!

Meet: Holly

Designer: Mia Solano

Why We Love Her:

Holly is a winter fantasy dress for all brides! She is the dress that every bride envisions herself getting married in at some point in their life. She truly has it all: long sleeves, open back, modern lace, beading, glitter, and sequins! All of these components are layered within the dress, creating an alluring dimension!

Her a-line shape and plunging lined bodice will flatter brides of all sizes. She will truly make every bride feel and look like a princess! Beginning with her bodice, she has a deep plunging neckline that is outlined with a dainty beading leading up the straps and into the back. She then has illusion mesh long sleeves that have the sequined floral applique pieces scattered throughout. These sleeves will be weightless for the bride, and she will probably forget they are even there!

When it comes to Holly’s back, it is absolutely breathtaking. The illusion mesh and beaded outline from the neckline and sleeves continue into a beautiful keyhole back that is enclosed with three crystal buttons. She also has a stunning train that is covered in cascading floral appliques. And at the very ends, she has a lining of horsehair that will ensure the shape of the dress stays in place and gracefully flows with the bride.

She is available in three unique colors: ivory (shown) and ivory/vintage rose. These color variations will flatter many different skin tones while also allowing different aspects of the dress to pop off. A bride will also be able to use these colors in her favor when matching everything to the chosen theme of the wedding.

She’s Great For:

A winter wonderland wedding! She is romantic, flirtatious, and magical. With her long sleeve feature and undeniable sparkle, she would be perfect for a winter themed wedding in a ballroom venue. Her glitz will shimmer in all spotlights and natural lighting a venue has to offer, and the bride will be the center of attention all night long.

What Makes Her Special:

Holly is unique with her ability in having so much detail without looking too busy. Mia Solano strategically incorporated all aspects of this dress in a way that creates a magnificent flow and transition within the dress. To top everything off, she has a detachable belt! This belt is the perfect addition for creating a divide between the top and bottom of the dress, and the option to be detachable is perfect for accommodating all body shapes!

Meet: Julie
Designer: Morilee

Why We Love Her:

Julie is a gown that is equal parts romantic and fun! This slim A-line has a little bit of everything starting at her unlined lacy bodice. Gorgeous, beaded floral and vine appliqué lie atop a delicate layer of Chantilly lace providing eye-catching dimension to the gown.

A deep V plunge, beaded with seed pearls and silver shimmery bugle beads, adds a touch of sexiness to the neckline and draws attention to the lace that trickles down to just below the waistline. A wider strap provides coverage at the bust before thinning into sweet and sparkly spaghetti straps!

These straps continue down the low, open back that is sure to WOW your crowd as you walk down the aisle. Double rows of beading line the illusion trim of the low back. Buttons cover the zipper to add the perfect finishing touch to a back so incredible! Julie has a small sweep train that is easy to bustle and lends itself perfectly to a beaded cathedral veil. She is truly a stunner!

She’s Perfect For: 

This sweet Morilee gown is the perfect choice for the bride who wants a dress that is romantic and pretty but also low maintenance. Julie is a dress that will require very basic alterations, and you do not have to worry about sacrificing comfort or beauty in a gown like this! Her lace and bead bodice and low, gorgeous back provide the perfect amount of detail to offset the simple hem.

Julie is the perfect choice for brides with summer weddings. Her unlined bodice and open back allow for just the right amount of airflow and keep her lightweight enough for brides on the move. This dress would be gorgeous for a ceremony on the beach, at a barn, or at a vineyard. Julie is available in both champagne and ivory to fit a plethora of color pallets and floral arrangements!

Why She’s Special:

There is so much to look at on this pretty little number without the gown being overwhelming! Between her romantic lace, delicate straps, and pretty plunge, it is hard not to swoon over Julie. Most a-line gowns have backs that fall into a deep v, but not many have a back as low as Julie’s does! No other dress in store has the same kind of charm as Julie so you are going to have to see her for yourself!

Meet Jovi

Designer: Madi Lane

Why We Love Her: Jovi is a Madi Lane masterpiece that follows all of the current trends! She has a slim fitted silhouette that will show off all the bride’s curves without being too tight! She also is lined with a super soft four way stretch jersey material that will be perfect for a bride that isn’t afraid to bust a move on the dance floor!

And that is just the beginning of her glorious features….

On the outside, she is covered head to toe in a gorgeous floral and leaf embellishment that is perfect for a whimsical or bohemian themed wedding! Her bodice consists of the new fashion square neckline that allows the bride to keep the modest look in the front! On her sides, she has deep v-shaped mesh cutouts that are lined with a delicate iridescent beading that flows directly into the beaded spaghetti straps. Moving to her back, the beaded straps lead into a gorgeous scoop back enclosed with buttons! Jovi is truly a bride’s dream!

Jovi also has the unique option to have the bodice lined as well as color variations. For a more conservative bride, the option to line the bodice is perfect! The lining will also create a more cohesive look since the top and bottom will both be the same, regardless of the color. If the bride chooses to keep the front unlined (shown in pictures), then the boning structure of the dress will be slightly revealed as well as the bride’s skin, creating a sexier and more flirtatious look.

For color options, Madi Lane offers this in four variations: ivory/nude, ivory/sand, ivory/mocha (shown), and ivory. With these color variations, the lace will stay the same color (ivory) while the underlay will change. This customization allows the dimension of the detail to be altered based on the bride’s preferences!

She’s Great For: Jovi is ideal for spring or summer weddings. With her lightweight features, and floral lacing, Jovi would thrive at a garden venue surrounded with blooming flowers. Her lace detailing will steal the show as the bride walks down the aisle!

What Makes Her Special: Her single layered tulle detachable skirt of course! Unlike other dresses that come with voluminous overskirts that are filled with detail: instead, Jovi’s skirt keeps it simple and sweet! With the single layered plain tulle, the bride has the option of creating the a-line dress look without losing the marvelous details of the original skirt and train of the dress. And the best part about this detachable train is that it matches the lightweight and summer vibe of the dress! The bride will have the a-line look without carrying the weight that typically comes with!

Meet June

Designer: L’Amour

It all begins with her fit and flare bodice: she will gracefully hug and flow off of the bride’s curves in all the right ways! In her unlined bodice, there is a deep v-line plunge neckline that ties in perfectly with the side cutouts! Together, they enhance the flirtatious look of the dress while also keeping the bride comfortable.

Her bodice is then finished with beaded spaghetti straps that provide the perfect transition into the back without taking attention away from the bodice.

It is undeniable that the detail does not stop in the front! She has a gorgeous open v-back that goes all the way down to the zipper! The panels that create the v-shape consists of an illusion mesh with the lace from the skirt cascading upward towards the straps. Moving down the skirt, she is covered in a spectacular mini floral and vine beaded embroidery that extends down to the end of the glorious train. This train is also lined with a horsehair edging that will ensure the shape of the train stays in place all day long!

L’amour makes June in three different color options, leaving the bride with another decision! These color options include ivory/light nude, ivory/latte, and ivory/ivory (shown in pictures). With both of the two-toned options, the lacing will be accentuated and pop off the dress, whereas with the all ivory option, the beading will sparkle and be a main focal point of this dress. Either way, a bride can’t go wrong!

She’s Great For: A destination wedding and warm temperatures. Her summer vibes would go perfectly with any tropical location that has beach or floral sceneries. Because of her detailing and fitted shape, a bride will not have to worry about wrinkles forming or excessive space needed during travel. She is also very lightweight despite the detailing which would be perfect for staying cool in warmer settings!

What Makes Her Special: Her ability to be so comfortable and lightweight for the bride while also being covered in head to toe detail! One thing that you can definitely say about her detailing is that it is not scarce, that’s for sure!

June keeps the lightweight comfort by only having a double tulle layered train instead of the dress lining extending to the end.

Also, by having all the cutouts and open back features, they give the bride some freedom to move around and have some airflow circulating to dance the night away. A spectacular choice with traditional features that will never go out of style mixed with some on-trend and edginess!

Meet: Style 8231

Designer: Monica Loretti

Why we love her: Monica Loretti crafted an absolute stunner of a gown with Style 8231. Everything about her is exquisite and feminine. Her beaded bodice, sparkly skirt, and illusion details come together to create something truly gorgeous.

This dress features an off-the-shoulder, illusion neckline. Flesh-toned mesh supports the top of the gown and flows into a romantic sweetheart neckline with long sleeves. Off-the-shoulder sleeves are highly sought-after by today’s brides, and the illusion mesh keeps the dress secure all day long. The bodice is decorated with beaded appliques on top of a layer of chantilly lace. The layer of chantilly lace adds depth to the gown, and the beaded appliques on top provide a splendid sparkle. The appliques are very nature-inspired; they are shaped like leaves and vines– perfect for brides getting married outdoors or looking to incorporate nature into their wedding day look!

The appliques adorn the bodice and the long sleeves of the gown, and they slightly extend over the waist line. Clear sequins stitched in the top layer of the bodice help add a gentle glimmer as well.

As is standard craftsmanship for Monica Loretti, the back of Style 8231 is just as incredible as the front. A line of crystal buttons down the spine hold together illusion mesh, where more beaded appliques lay across the back. The V-shape placement of the appliques create a slimming effect through the waistline.

The viney appliques cascade down the long sleeves, where the same crystal buttons that line the spine close the sleeves at the wrist. The sparkle of the gown, provided by the clear sequins and translucent beading, continues throughout the back of the bodice. The back of the gown is so incredible that brides will almost want to walk backwards down the aisle! 

The enchanting appliques on the bodice drip down slightly past the waistline of the gown, which flows into a fairytale-esque skirt. The a-line silhouette is flattering on all body shapes and sizes, and it is super comfortable for long wedding days! A-line silhouettes are highly requested by today’s brides. Style 8231’s skirt has a dreamy layer of sparkle tulle in, giving her an ethereal and airy look. The skirt ends with a chapel-length train– the perfect length for brides who want a train but do not want to be weighed down by one.

She is available in cappuccino/nude/ivory (our sample color), or all ivory.  

She’s perfect for: honestly, everything! But Style 8231 is a really fantastic option for brides getting married in spring or fall. The mesh long sleeves are a perfect element for transitioning climates, like the warming up of spring or the cooling down of fall. The viney, nature-inspired appliques allow this gown to fit cohesively with venues like arboretums and gardens, wineries, and refinished barns. 8231 is for brides who want to lean into their romantic, whimsical, and feminine side!  

What makes her special: the most striking element of Style 8231 is the illusion detailing. The long, lacy sleeves appear off-the-shoulder in the most romantic and dreamy way, but they are secure on the bride because of the flesh-toned mesh holding them in place. Crystal buttons lining the spine and the ornate, naturey appliques appear to float directly on the bride’s back. It is these thoughtful details that makes Style 8231 by Monica Loretti a must-try for fall brides, spring brides, and every bride in between! 

Meet: Lucille

Designer: Eddy K.

Why we love her: Lucille by Eddy K has a little bit of everything– sparkle, florals, and an alluring silhouette. She’s a delightful blend of modern, romantic, and a little sexy. The appliques, which cover the dress from top to train, are a mix of flowers and leaves. This nature-inspired design is something a lot of current brides are searching for!

The floral appliques shimmer in the light because of lush beadwork. Clear beads, white beads, and sequins top the appliques; their effect is ethereal. Lucille has small pieces of the nature-inspired appliques that peak out over the edge of the V-shaped neckline. These applique pieces add a little more coverage to an otherwise plunging neckline. Flesh-toned illusion netting supports the top of the gown and helps keep brides secure all night long! 

The captivating illusion effect is mirrored on the back of the gown. Lucille has a row of buttons the length of the spine; they rest on top of flesh colored netting. The striking button illusion is complemented by leafy, sparkly appliques. The placement of the appliques along the sides of the gown frame the brides’ backs in a gorgeously dramatic fashion. From all angles, she is eye-catching! 

Lucille’s gentle mermaid silhouette means she is fitted from the bodice through the hips and thighs, then begins to flare out around the knees. This enticing silhouette is much-loved by brides of all ages and sizes. The flare around the knees allows brides to walk down the aisle and dance all night without having mobility issues.

The lovely beaded appliques continue down the gown and through the train. She has a captivating chapel-length train; this train will catch everyone’s eye when walking down the aisle, and it will also make for stunning pictures. The floral lace lays around the edge of the train, giving a gorgeous finish to an equally gorgeous gown.

Lucille is available with a champagne lining color with ivory appliques; this helps the appliques stand out in photographs. Lucille can also be ordered in all ivory for a classic bridal look. 

She’s perfect for: Brides who love botanical motifs will absolutely fall in love with her design. Beaded floral appliques are a common wish-list item for today’s brides, and Lucille delivers in that category. She fits nicely with spring and summer weddings. Venue styles that will vibe nicely with her include gardens and arboretums, historic estates, and grand country clubs. She is elegant without being stuffy, so she is a great choice for venues of different formalities.  

What makes her special: Lucille has very unique details on her bodice that make her a must-try gown in our store. The bodice has ruching in the tulle layer; this extra detail adds dimension to the top of the gown. The rushing provides a backdrop for the appliques to transcend the neckline and create the exciting illusion in the front of the gown. The combination of the ruching and the plunging V-shape neckline works to elongate brides’ torsos, helping brides look taller.

Lucille, designed with all the thoughtful details Eddy K. is known for, is a sophisticated, stylish, and on-trend choice for any bride!
