Meet: 7492
Designer: Stella York

Why We Love Her: Stella York has done is again with another ethereal knockout! Dress 7492 is a floral lace a-line stunner and a favorite among brides. A structured, unlined bodice provides support and makes the bride feel secure as she dances her night away! The floral and vine lace pops against the v-neck bodice, and is held up by delicate lace straps.

Our sample is in curvy size and the photos below illustrate the care taken to make this look beautiful and flattering on every size. Larger cups are added for additional support and accentuating curves, with the same delicate strap adding femininity as well as comfort.

The lace cascades down the skirt, falling in the perfect placements to give the dress some gorgeous detail without being overwhelming. The back of this little stunner is so lovely with illusion, lace, and buttons that cover the zipper! She has a sweep train that makes for a very easy and light bustle for your reception. A layer of glitter tulle shimmers with each step and complements the sequins atop the lace, so you are sure to shine all day long!

She’s Perfect For: 7492 is perfect for the bride who loves a pretty lace pattern! The lace is primarily vine with a gorgeous mix of floral appliqués dispersed throughout. These florals make her the perfect option for the bride with an outdoor component to her wedding! Garden, golf course, and winery venues would be the ideal backdrop for a dress so sweet.

This is also a great gown for the bride who really likes sparkle, but not heavy silver bead. The dress shimmers beautifully without the heavy weight of a beaded gown. The sun or light from the venue catches the sequin and glitter to create the shimmer with every step, but due to the clear bead, the sparkle will not take away from the detail of the lace in photos! 

Why She’s Special: With a gown this pretty, we really don’t have to tell you why she is special! Her lace straps with vine detail are a fan favorite as they are not too thin and they provide support without too much coverage. The simple yet gorgeous sweep train makes the dress manageable and low maintenance for brides on the go! The Stella York 7492 is offered in biscotti, almond, ivory, and white to match any color scheme. This gown can also be ordered without the glitter and sequined lace for brides who prefer a little less glitz and glam.

Meet Minnie!

Designer: Eddy K

Why we love her: Minnie is a sweet little dress for the bride who wants elegant simplicity! This crepe a-line is lightweight, comfortable, and timeless. Her v-neck neckline gives a touch of cleavage without too much plunge, and creates a gorgeous shape in the bodice. Thin spaghetti straps pull up the top and lead to a low, v-back that falls to emphasize the most flattering parts of the bride’s back. 

One of the most loved parts about this gown is the band at the waist! The double seams at the natural waist and directly under the bust work to chisel out the most flattering part of the bride’s waist, emphasizing a cinched middle section. Brides LOVE the way that Minnie flatters their figure! The soft skirt flows freely without adding volume, and the train falls in romantic pleats as the bride moves. Fabric covered buttons begin at the top of the zipper and cascade all the way down the train. When bustled with a French bustle, these buttons will align perfectly to make a seamless transition!

She’s perfect for: This gown is perfect for a bride who wants a dress that is simple and timeless with a touch of modernity. Her clean cut transcends time while her bodice is reminiscent of the styles of today! Minnie is also a perfect dress for a bride who likes ornate details. This gown is a gorgeous blank slate with no lace or beading that will clash with any jewelry, florals, venues, etc. Brides can have ornate floral arrangements without having to worry that it may take away from their gown in pictures. 

This also lends itself to the option of having a dramatic cathedral veil! There are some truly incredible veils out there that will only work with a gown that does not have a ton of detail on it. Some with intricate beading, lace patterns, sparkles, or 3D lace would look amazing paired with a gown like Minnie! There is also the option of adding a belt or sash to the waist on this gown. The natural waist seam creates the perfect place for a belt, or add another belt to the seam under the bust to create a double belted look that would further highlight that cinched waist! The options to customize are endless!

What makes her special: Minnie has a feature that almost every bride loves – pockets! Tuck away your vows and some tissues for the ceremony, then swap them out for your phone so you can get some great posts for your Instagram during the reception. Whatever you choose to keep in your pockets, you will be happy that you chose Minnie as your gown.

She is also a special gown for her versatility in different wedding aesthetics. Depending on how you dress her up or down, Minnie can be perfect for a number of different themes and venues. She can be as casual as a gown for a backyard wedding or, dressed up with jewelry and veils, could be gorgeous at a country club! Her lightweight, flowy nature also would make her perfect for a wedding on a beach. There are so many options for a gown as clean and timeless as Minnie!

Meet: Callie

Designer: Beloved by Casablanca

Why we love her: Callie is a fan favorite at Darianna Bridal & Tuxedo! This romantic a-line appeals to brides of all tastes with her perfect blend of lace, shimmer, and color. She has a gorgeous structured bodice that provides just the right amount of support while the plunged neckline adds a touch of spice.

Delicate, beaded spaghetti straps lead into the low, scooped illusion back. A small row of buttons and loops hold the illusion together and is the perfect touch to a back that pretty!

A gorgeous leafy lace begins at the bodice and trickles down the skirt, tapering off to give the gown just the right amount of detail without being overwhelming. Sequins adorn the lace to give the bride just a touch of shimmer as she makes her way down the aisle! A small train cascades behind with lace and tulle framing the shortened underlay beautifully. Callie comes in Nude, Champagne, Ivory, and White.

She’s perfect for: This is a dress that is perfect for all brides! It is rare to find a gown that is versatile enough to work for brides of all sizes and aesthetics, but Callie is that gown. We have her in store in sizes 2, 8, 12, and 18 curvy cut, and she looks incredible on every bride who tries her on. The various color options also make the gown perfect for a range of brides, and often the color choice comes down to the bride’s venue! The nude color looks incredible at weddings with outdoor ceremonies and fall color palettes while the ivory fits seamlessly at country club or ballroom weddings!

Love Callie but wish she had maybe a little more sparkle or a thicker strap? We have brides fall in love with her but think she would be perfect with just a little tweak. Casablanca will fix that for you! We have seen variations of this gown arrive with a later of glitter tulle added, two sets of spaghetti straps, a higher neckline, and much more. We even had a bride who reconstructed it to be drop waist, strapless, and off the shoulder! The flexibility of making the dress into exactly what the bride is looking for really elevates a gown already so gorgeous.

What makes her special: One look at Callie and you will see exactly what makes her special! This is a dress that has it all. A flattering fit, a flowy skirt without all the volume, a sweet sweep train, and some subtle shimmer. There’s a little bit of everything without being too much of everything! 

She also has a matching fingertip length veil that can be ordered in chapel, cathedral, and royal lengths. The fingertip length veil has lace that begins more toward the elbow so as to not detract from the gorgeous bodice and spaghetti straps! With a cathedral veil, you can keep your cute sweep train with the manageable bustle and still get the dramatic, traditional look. Callie’s versatility and fit gives a bride everything she needs to feel confident and beautiful on her big day! 

Meet Carolina!

Designer: Kitty Chen

Why we love her: Another masterpiece from Kitty Chen in the store, Carolina is a chic and dramatic gown. Fitted, lacy, and classic, she will have brides looking and feeling their best. The design of this gown is timeless and absolutely stunning.

Carolina has a classic fit-and-flare silhouette. She hugs brides’ curves without restricting around the legs too much. Traditional lace appliques rest on top of a layer of chantilly lace. This adds dimension to the gown and makes her fascinating to look at– up close and far away! The lace appliques are more concentrated on the bodice, but the amazing lace detailing is still present on the skirt and in the train.

Big appliques on a cathedral length train adds another wow-factor to Carolina. The train is a scalloped shape, so brides can create some really dramatic pictures with it! There is also hem lace that continues around the bottom of the dress. This gives her a polished, finished look. 

Carolina has gorgeous long sleeves attached to an illusion neckline with a deep plunge. This plunge adds a touch of modernity and spice to a traditional gown. Illusion netting helps keep the dress in place, so brides can dance all night long without fiddling with the sleeves. The long sleeves have the same lace appliques on them as the rest of the dress. Made with flesh-toned tulle, the sleeves give the illusion that the lace is resting directly on the bride’s skin. The sleeves end with crystal button closures.  

And if you thought that the sleeves, or the scalloped, cathedral-length train were the most extraordinary things about this beauty, you would be wrong!

Expertly-placed appliques climb up the back from the waistline; the placement of these appliques is strategic as it helps draw the eye in and make waists look snatched. This applique, combined with the lace appliques from the long sleeves, help frame the real star of the back of the gown: the beading! Carolina has an illusion back with some of the most intricate beaded detailing you’ve ever seen! An elaborate mix of pearls, rhinestones, and silver beads, the bead work on the back of the gown is absolutely show-stopping. Crystal buttons are incorporated into this design; they extend the length of the illusion back and down over the rest of the zipper closure. 

Carolina is available in Ivory/Nude (pictured), Ivory, and White. 

She’s great for: Carolina by Kitty Chen brings the heat– while keeping it super classy at the same time. This lacy, intricate design is perfect for brides who are aiming for a vintage vibe. She is traditional but not stuffy, classic but not boring. Her vintage vibes will work nicely in event spaces like refinished barns, historic mansions and hotels, and ornate religious spaces. With her long sleeves and beaded design on the illusion back, is best suited for weddings taking place in the fall and the winter, but she will stun in every season! 

What makes her special: Everything about her is special, but the back of the dress is what really sets her apart! The bead work on the illusion back is masterful; guests will want a closer look at it from the moment they see it coming down the aisle. Also, the lining of the dress does not extend the length of the train, creating a dramatic illusion train. This also gives the gown a very light-weight bustle, which will be appreciated when it is time to dance.

Carolina has a matching cathedral-length veil available to order as well. The veil has matching lace applique, making her the perfect accessory for brides who want to look like royalty.

Meet: Rosa!

Designer: Morilee

Why We Love Her: There is so much to love about Rosa! This soft a-line is flattering on so many body types. Her v-neck bodice has a plunged neckline and gorgeous lace that cascades up the illusion straps. The sheer bodice lets the detail pop against your skin tone, and the scooped back exposes just enough skin while still keeping her modest.

Rosa shimmers subtly from beading in the lace and is sure to catch both the sun and the eyes of everyone in the room! A set of double bands accentuate the waist at the smallest part and creates definition between the bodice and skirt. Those bands can be removed to have the lace fully exposed or for beaded belt to take its place and draw more shimmer out of the dress!

The floral lace also trickles down the skirt that falls in delicate pleats and moves romantically. Her train has a touch of the lace that perfectly frames the back and elevates the drama of the back. This stunner comes in all ivory, champagne with ivory lace, smoky lavender with ivory lace, and all white!

She’s Great for: all brides! Rosa looks great on so many shapes, and the variety of color options are extremely complimentary to every skin tone. The options to remove the bands and choose from their extra color options make this gown an amazing dress for the bride who likes to make things her own!

This is also a very versatile dress in terms of venues! Her shape and soft tulle make her perfect for an indoor country club or ballroom while her pretty floral lace lends her perfectly to barns, gardens, and golf courses. Rosa is even a great dress for beach weddings as she is lightweight and her sheer bodice helps to keep the bride cool all day long.

What Makes Her Special: So many different features make Rosa special. She is one of our most loved gowns in the store! This gown checks many boxes for brides including beauty, comfortability, elegance, and personalization. The fact that she can be ordered in a soft smoky lavender color has made her a great choice for brides who are looking for something traditional but with a fun twist, or even for brides who have a very specific color scheme.

The option of keeping the bands, adding a belt, or removing them entirely completely changes the look of the gown and allows for the bride to incorporate many different personal touches into her wedding day look.

The lightweight nature of the gown makes her so comfortable to move in and doesn’t sacrifice any part of the beauty. Many dresses have heavy crinoline underneath to give the gown its a-line shape, but Rosa doesn’t have anything underneath and brides love the way they can move so freely while wearing her. Who needs reception dress when you can twirl the night away in this perfect one?!

Rosa is available in our store now in ivory (with no belts) and champagne and lavender (with belts). One of Morilee‘s best-selling dresses, she has also started making Rosa in black and we can’t wait to add that one to the gallery!

All these choices for our brides to fall in love with, come see her for yourself!

Meet: Jesslyn

Designer: Madi Lane

Why We Love Her: Jesslyn is a romantic icon! She has a beautiful fit and flare silhouette that will not only look good, but feel good as well! Her lace consists of a soft, felt like material that makes a gorgeous leaf and vine applique and cascades throughout the entirety of the dress!

Her plunging neckline speaks wonders! It will perfectly complement all types of body shapes by creating an elongated illusion. The appliques on top, peak over the edge ever-so-slightly that makes an alluring asymmetrical edged neckline. Jesslyn’s bodice also has the ability to be ordered lined or unlined: lined for a more conservative look; unlined for a sexier look, it’s the bride’s choice!

Continuing up and into the back, Jesslyn has thin, beaded, spaghetti straps that will give this dress a pop of sparkle! Her back is a low scoop shape covered with identical asymmetrical appliques as the front, and it leads into a six button closure.

Moving down to the skirt and train of Jesslyn, she has a layer of sequin floral Chantilly lace for the added touch of detail and glitz. This layer continues all the way down the stunning train beneath the applique leafy lace.

She is available in four different colors in order to ensure the bride finds her perfect match! These colors include ivory/nude, ivory/sand, ivory/mocha, and all ivory (shown). These color variations change the underlay jersey stretch material, while leaving all the detail the same! She also has the unique ability to come in without the Chantilly lace layer if the bride desires! This customization would be perfect for a more simplistic bride who doesn’t love as much sparkle.

She’s Great for: She is the ideal dress for outdoor and garden venues! Her lace will match any type of greenery and floral accents that a bride could think of! And, with her stretchy and lightweight features, she will be perfect for a bride who loves to dance and have some fun! Eating, sitting, dancing, drinking; Jesslyn will be so comfortable that a bride will not want to take her off!

What Makes her Special: To start off, she has a striking detachable tulle train with floral appliques covering the bottom. This attaches right onto the waistline and creates a more voluminous look while also extending the train length! And there’s more: she has detachable illusion long sleeves too. These off the shoulder long sleeves have a touch of floral appliques across them and the best part is that they can slide right on and off as the bride pleases!

With all these detachable and customizable features, Madi Lane has upped the dress trends so the bride can trick the guests into thinking she has multiple dresses! Three looks for the price of one, what could be better?!

Meet Eleonora!

Designer: Eddy K

Why We Love Her: Eleonora is a crowd favorite! She is elegant, bold, and classy all in one! Her mermaid silhouette will be perfect for showing off the curves on every bride that puts her on! And because she is made with a mikado fabric that is thicker than most, the unwanted curves will stay hidden! This fabric is perfect for capturing the same look as a satin dress with the bright, shiny look while also having some more flexibility and comfort for the bride. She is the ideal blend for a fun bride looking for the timeless look!

Beginning with her bodice, Eleonora has a gorgeous sweetheart sculpted plunge neckline that will be perfect for creating an elongated bodice illusion. On top, she has glamorous beaded traditional lace appliques that lead directly into the thin beaded spaghetti straps and the hourglass cut out sides. Directly above the seam line before the skirt flares out, there is another large patch of appliques that continue to the back as well.

Moving to the back, Eleonora has mid-height, straight across, illusion mesh back that is filled with the same lace appliques as the front. Along the zipper, she has buttons that will show off every bride’s booty and cover the zipper for pictures! Below the seam is where the party begins! Beneath the mikado layer on the bottom, Eleonora is shaped with multiple layers of crinoline in order to create the gorgeous mermaid look! On top, the mikado and lace both flare off perfectly into the long train! She is available in ivory/skin so the dress mikado material will be ivory while the mesh will blend into a bride’s skin tone slightly.

She’s Great For: Eleonora is great for a ballroom venue where the bride will be making a grand entrance! A long staircase onto a big open dance floor would be the picture perfect scenery for her to shock every guest! Her long train will flow gracefully behind the bride as she walks into the room and will definitely be the center of attention. With this timeless masterpiece, the season or time of day will not matter. She will look magnificent in all different lighting and with any type of flowers!

What Makes Her Special: Eleonora has a train that is to die for! It is voluminous, exquisite, and elaborate! It starts by having a huge lace applique cut out that is directly on top of the mikado and extended down into a scalloped edged hem line! This is the same lace that is across the bodice with some extra Chantilly lace detail. This cutout then transitions into a normal mikado hemline that makes it POP even more! Eleonora is also one of the unique Eddy K dresses that has a matching cathedral veil! This veil is lined with the same traditional lacing and extends past the train of the dress! A bride truly cannot go wrong when picking her!
