Designer: Essense of Australia

Why We Love Her:

This glittery, tulle and organza a-line is a show stopper! From head to toe, this Essense of Australia wedding dress shimmers effortlessly and ensures that you will be seen all night long. The 3812 has a unique modified sweetheart neckline and delicate, beaded spaghetti straps that provide the right amount of support and structure for brides of all sizes. The unlined bodice features a trendy corset look with dainty leaf and vine lace appliqués cascading down into the skirt.

The lace continues down the skirt to around the hip before tapering off and leaving a simple tulle skirt to sparkle and dazzle. One of the best features of the dress is a the skirt split that is hidden in the pleating! A little pop of leg gives an otherwise simple skirt a little extra pizzazz and lets the bride show off those shoes.

The back of the gown is equally as gorgeous as the front with buttons from zipper to hem and a little extra lace detail on the end of the train.

She’s Great For:

The 3812 gown is great for brides of every size! The corset bodice provides some extra support for bustier brides while the modified sweetheart neckline allows for some modest cleavage. This is a neckline that is very on trend right now! The bodice also cinches the waist in seamlessly without being uncomfortable.

This gown is perfect for brides with a variety of venues, too! Her shimmer would make her fit in perfectly under the lights of a ballroom in a country club while also perfectly complementing scenery under the sun. The leafy lace pattern would be perfect for a wedding outdoors while that glitter would catch the sunlight and elevate the gown that much more!

The lightweight nature of this dress also makes her easy to travel, so brides with beach weddings would also find the 3812 to be the perfect pick.

What Makes this Essense of Australia Wedding Dress Special:

If you are a bride looking for a versatile dress, this may be the gown for you! The 3812 is offered in three colors: ivory, white, and biscotti. Whatever color pallet you have, you can be sure that the dress will accent it perfectly. Biscotti is a color that would look perfect next to rich fall colors while gem tones would pop effortlessly against a white or ivory gown. Brides looking to have the lace stand out a bit more would want to consider the biscotti color. Both biscotti and ivory will be available to try on in store!

There is a lot to unpack here, and that is a great thing! Tree is full of intricate detail from top to bottom and no one can go unappreciated. Beginning at the top, we have a beautiful beaded spaghetti strap which leads to a dainty v shaped neckline. The beaded detail lines the neckline, and the strap breaks into three separate straps and drape gently down the back, leaving it low, but still beautiful and elegantly detailed.

Wtoo Wedding Dress Details

The Tree Wtoo Wedding Dress is covered in beautifully embroidered roses which trail asymmetrically down the bodice and throughout the skirt. What makes the dress pop though, is the layer of delicate sequins and sparkles which are shaped as leaves and vines, and it lays just beneath the surface of the roses. When the light hits it, we are able to see just how stunning the details of her truly are.

At the bottom hem of the dress is a scalloped edge to give the bottom a beautiful finish. And turning around, let’s admire her stunning train! The dress bodice and skirt details continue down throughout the train and the beautiful scalloped edge is applied to the hem. The gorgeous edging gives the dress an elegant finish, making it feel intentionally thought out and designed with care.

She would be perfect for a beautiful wedding in the Italian countryside, on a beach in the Caribbean, or even in the Pocono Mountains.

The back of this gown is so unique and fun with an illusion back that meets in the middle with some crystal buttons and a small keyhole back that flashes a peek of skin. Holly is lightweight which makes her a breeze to move in as you trek uphill for photos!

A destination wedding at a beautiful and exotic location requires equally beautiful and exotic wedding dress.

Whether you’re traveling two hours by car or two days by plane, your gown is a very important part of your big day and it’s important to pack and transport it with care. Here are some tips on how to pick and pack your destination wedding dress:

PICKING:

When choosing your gown for a beach wedding, consider lighter weight fabrics like organza, chiffon, English net, and charmeuse. Shimmering beads and light sequins can create a magnificent glow from sunrise to sunset. Tropical locations with lush foliage and big colorful blooms can be thoughtfully matched with bold floral and/or leafy vine lace appliques on the dress.

A few examples:

For a more boho outdoor event in the gardens or mountains, intricate and geometric lace patterns are perfect, in champagne and mocha underlays that make the lace really pop. Off-the-shoulder, bell, and flutter sleeves really work well with the natural, earthy vibe. Some great boho lace options are:

PACKING:

If you will be taking your dress by car, we recommend stuffing the bodice with white tissue paper or a cardboard bust form. Transporting your dress in the dress bag given to you by your bridal store should be enough to keep it safe. You can however put a clear plastic bag (such as a bag from a dry cleaner) over top of the dress and then put the dress in the dress bag. We then recommend hanging it from the car’s garment hook, or at least lay it flat. Do not put anything on top of it.

FLYING WITH A WEDDING DRESS

If you will be taking your dress by air, contact the airline to find out if there is a closet you could use. Many do and will allow you to hang it there for the flight. If they do not and you are carrying it on with you, again ask a flight attendant for the best place to put your dress. Often they will make space in an overhead bin and lay it folded over once. This is acceptable as long as you or the venue has a steamer to steam out any wrinkles. Again, stuff the bodice with white tissue or a cardboard bust form.

SHIPPING A WEDDING DRESS

Should your venue have a wedding coordinator who will accept your dress for you and you wish to ship it ahead of time, use a cardboard bust form to keep the shape. Use white tissue between any folds and tuck around and over any beading, especially on the bodice. Put the dress into a plastic bag, then the dress bag. Use a box that is the perfect size when the dress is folded in half. Again make sure the venue has a steamer and a sewing kit. If they do not, make sure to take your own. And you want to use a reputable shipping company with tracking information.

If you have a veil, that should be wrapped in plastic and kept together with the dress. A quick steam out on arrival will have your veil looking perfect!

TIPS ON WEDDING DRESS ARRIVAL

When you arrive, check over the dress, make sure there are no beads that need tightening or threads that need clipping. Steam it out and keep it hung up by the sewn in manufacturer hanging straps only! If your dress has any type of strap or sleeve, do not hang the dress up by them. The weight of the dress should be on the hanging straps sewn in so as not to damage or misshapen your straps.

Now it’s time to relax and enjoy your destination wedding day! It’s going to be magical to say, “I do!” Of course every single detail may not be exactly perfect, but roll with it and don’t let the little things spoil your fun. Be present in the moment and make memories that will last a lifetime!
