Meet: Magnolia
Designer: Morilee
Why We Love Her:
Magnolia is a whimsical and romantic little a-line from Morilee! This strapless gown has a sheer bodice with 3D floral and vine lace that pop atop. A soft plunge breaks up the sweetheart bodice while some lace overlaps to provide a just touch more modesty. Detachable cap sleeves with the same lace can hang softly off the shoulder, be worn on the shoulder, or removed completely to achieve a variety of different looks. The lace trickles down the skirt that is pleated, shimmery, and features a soft slit to show off your shoes!
The back of this gown is to die for! The back of the bodice features exposed boning with some lace and vine details throughout. A row of buttons with loops line the zipper for a touch more romance. Lace cascades down the back of the skirt and falls to frame the train beautifully, creating the perfect pattern for when the gown is bustled up! The skirt liner stops at chapel length while the sheer tulle and lace train extends to cathedral length, giving more dimension to the exquisite detail.
She’s Perfect For:
This gown is perfect for the romantic bride. Magnolia is lightweight, moves like a dream, and is sure to turn heads with all her little details. This dress is shimmery with her glitter tulle skirt and sequined lace. Walking under the sun or underneath the lights will catch the sparkle and attract the eyes of everyone without being too overpowering. Magnolia is a great gown for the bride who wants to be seen!
This gown is also the perfect choice for brides with venues like farms and barns, botanical gardens, or even vineyards. Her subtle champagne underlay makes her perfect in most color schemes, and can really help to make a colorful floral arrangement pop. Magnolia can be ordered in all ivory, as well, for brides who prefer a more traditional color arrangement. The lace on this gown also lend her to be the perfect complement to a venue full of elements of nature.
What Makes Her Special:
The lace pattern on this gown is very unique, featuring smaller flowers and larger vine and leaf appliqué. These laces are also layered onto each other deliberately to create the prettiest shapes and patterns! Some lace is also hidden in the pleated skirt to make sure that you see all of the gorgeous detail no matter how the dress is moving. One close look at this gown is sure to impress all of your guests.
Another aspect that makes Magnolia special is how low maintenance the gown is. Despite having so much detail, this dress is extremely lightweight and breathable, making her a very easy gown to wear all day. The dress has a horsehair hem, meaning that it has a piece of material on the hem that gives the fabric a little extra structure. When you move, this stiffer fabric works to kick the gown outward instead of having the thin tulle hem getting caught under your shoes. The slit in the hem also helps to make movement a breeze while also ensuring that heat is not being trapped in the skirt. This is a great feature to have at an outdoor venue on a hot summer day.
