Designer: Kitty Chen

Why We Love Her:

Any bride looking for a fun and flirty little a-line gown will fall in love with Hermosa by Kitty Chen! Hermosa has a deep v-neck plunge and an unlined bodice topped with large, gorgeous floral lace. Delicate beaded spaghetti straps rest gently on the bride’s shoulders and drape down to the lace, scooped illusion back. The lace pattern is arranged to create a subtle keyhole back look with the illusion of floating buttons! Sequins hidden in the lace draw all eyes to this gorgeous bodice and catch the light with each movement.

The beautiful floral, leafy lace pattern trickles down through the skirt and train. A round cathedral length train trails romantically behind the bride during her walk down the aisle, and the lightweight nature of the gown makes for an extremely easy bustle. The best part about Hermosa is her fun peek-a-boo slit! When standing still, the slit looks like just another pleat in the dress but once the bride starts moving, she gets to show off a little bit of leg and those gorgeous shoes.

She’s Great For:

Hermosa is a great dress for the bride who wants a romantic and modern dress! The floral lace, fun back, and the hidden slit combine to make this gown the perfect amount of class and fun. The sparkle in Hermosa also make her an incredible choice for the bride who wants to shine all night long! 

Hermosa is the perfect gown for any venue. Her elegant shape and gorgeous sparkle would fit right in at a country club wedding while her slit and lightweight nature would be perfect outdoors in a garden, or even at a beach! The unlined illusion bodice allows for airflow so the bride will not overheat, so a Spring or Summer time wedding would be an ideal choice for a gown as perfect as Hermosa.

What Makes Her Special:

Hermosa is a special gown due to the way she is able to seamlessly combine elements of the traditional a-line gown shape with more modern details like the slit and floral lace. She also has a layer of horsehair in the hem that will allow the bride to walk effortlessly as the skirt will be pushed outward by her shoes. Speaking of shoes, the slit in the gown allows the bride to really show them off! Whether they are your something blue or some sparkly sneaks, Hermosa will make sure they have their time to shine, too!

The beading on Hermosa also allows her to be paired with a variety of jewelry. The straps are covered in a clear bead with some pearl detail scattered throughout. The incorporation of these pearls give brides the flexibility to choose between standard diamond jewelry or pearls. This can also be extended to hair accessories like beaded combs or veils with bead, pearl, or both.

This slimming fit and flare silhouette has a gorgeous leaf motif that trails off into godets at the skirt. With a V neckline and V back, dress 40417 features a detachable cape that mimics a sheared flutter sleeve to provide coverage but without the restrictions of a fully attached sleeve. 

What Makes Her Special:

When we first start working with our moms, grandmoms and aunts who are looking for that one gown for their special day, we discuss their desires and needs in a dress. One of the most often requested things is some type of sleeve, whether it be for coverage or comfort. But, committing to a full or ¾ length sleeve can be uncomfortable and restrictive in many circumstances. This is why we are huge fans of this Platinum Evening gown from Adrianna Papell!

40417 Dress Details

This gown adapts to your needs with a beautifully embellished cape that doesn’t look matronly as some caped pieces sometimes do. The cape attaches to the wide straps by a series of hooks and eyes making the piece easily removable so the wearer can adjust her look during the event. Having such a versatile gown makes it easy to change the level of formality during your big day. Leave the cape on for the ceremony and photos for a more formal look but then remove after you get to the reception for a more relaxed vibe for those candid reception photos. Or, keep it on for the entire event if it’s more comfortable for you. 

Not only is this dress beautiful and adaptable to your comfort and level of formality, but 40417 also cut in 16 different colors to easily match any bridal aesthetic. Another major benefit of choosing this gown is the overall comfort of the dress – the underlying fabric is a comfort stretch making this an easy gown to wear on such a long day. 

Due to the beaded motif on the gown, we suggest going minimal with your accessories. We suggest staying with the leaf motif with your jewelry to tie the whole look together.

A necklace and earring set with a dangling teardrop will help highlight the deep V neck of the gown.

Designer: Morilee

Morilee Wedding Dress | Why We Love Her:

Maritza is a show stopper if we’ve ever seen one. The gentle pearls displayed across the bodice and down the skirt are accompanied by a shimmer of sequins which makes it quite a stunner! To complete the look, pearls congregate together at the waist to snatch it in, giving more definition to the beautiful Ballgown silhouette. She is a classy gown with a truly special shine, whose silhouette will suit any and every bride!

With a modified sweetheart neckline, Maritza has a corset top bodice unlike anything we have ever seen. The edges of the neckline pop up with a dramatic flare. The boning of the bodice is slightly visible under the shimmer of the beaded tulle overlay. The sheer top allows for a contrast of color, but can also be lined for a more uniform display.

Morilee Wedding Dress | Details

The beads, pearls, and sequins begin to disperse as they travel down the skirt, leaving room at the bottom to admire the angelic haze of Ivory tulle. Not to mention her beautiful buttons which travel all the way to the bottom of the train!

For a bride concerned about a strapless gown, there is no need to worry. This gown comes with straps, and adding any type of sleeve would be an easy customization.

Maritza is available in a beautiful Ivory/Champagne/Honey (pictured above) and she also comes in all Ivory.

She’s Great For:

Maritza is truly fit for a princess. A dress for all seasons, she would shimmer magnificently in the snow, and also under the bright summer sun. Though she is voluminous, she is quite lightweight, making her perfect for a long day of walking, greeting, and dancing. Any pearl accessory would compliment her greatly, from a string of them around the neck, to a veil with them scattered throughout.

Maritza is a ballroom dweller for sure. She would love the spotlight; any chance to show off her detailed beading, iridescent sparkle and sequin magic. She can shine for any occasion, and would especially make a statement on a New Years Eve wedding!

What Makes Her Special:

It is rare that we see immense detail of both pearl and sparkle added together in such a way as we see on The Maritza Morilee Wedding Dress. To think that something as delicate as a pearl can be complemented with a shimmer that intense is incredible, and she wears it with ease! The entirety of this dresses’ detail comes from hand sewn bead work. This dress can only be made through lots of T.L.C.!

If Maritza and her beautiful sparkle intrigues you, you must come in and try her on!

Choosing a mother’s dress is a balancing act that most moms dread. Trying to adhere to the aesthetic of the bridal party and event location while embracing your individuality as a mother of the bride or groom isn’t the easiest task. This dress will effortlessly go from unpretentious to dazzling with a turn whether in the ballroom, a rustic barn or an evening black tie optional ceremony. 

Marsoni MV1250 Wedding Dress Details

Marsoni offers this dress in the traditional jewel tones of navy and emerald along with trending colors of gray mauve and seaglass, there is a complementary shade for every skin tone. 

Accessory options for this gown should be kept minimal as the incredible back detail should be the focal point of your look. With the bateau neckline, a necklace may be too overwhelming, but adding some sparkle to your look with earrings is definitely a way to go. Depending on your color choice, sapphire, emerald, prasiolite (seaglass) or pink quartz will match the beaded embellishments on the gown. It’s always a good idea to avoid bracelets with a crepe gown as bracelets can sometimes snag or abrade the material of the dress. 

Marsoni MV1250 Wedding Dress Material

An up-do with MV1250 is an absolute must though. There shouldn’t be anything that hinders the view of the back detail on this dress. An elegant chignon would highlight the back of the dress and elongate the neckline. 

Because of the simple pattern on the front of the gown, MV1250 is a side-zippered dress and will require just a little more forethought when dressing for your big day. It’s advisable to put your dress on first then cover it with a robe or cape when getting hair and makeup done.

Designer: Kitty Chen Couture

Why We Love Her:

Chloe is an enchanting dress that will flatter all brides. Her a-line silhouette paired with her corset boned bodice will emphasize the bride’s waistline, making it look snatched! While having the minimalistic look, Chloe still offers many enticing features that will make her stand out! Her mikado material gives the satin-like look as well as being slightly stiffer which allows the shape of the dress to be volumized. This material gives a sleek and chic appearance. Chloe will also be remarkable through all seasons! There will never be a time of year where this timeless dress does not exceed everyone’s expectations.

Beginning at her bodice, brides will fall in love with the modern plunge neckline. She will allow some classic brides to show some skin while still being modest. Moving to her skirt, Chloe definitely creates a statement. She has a single pleat overlapping top layer that creates a stunning thigh-high slit. While this slit is very prominent, how much it gets displayed is up to the bride! The bride can use it to show off her shoes or any leg tattoos if she chooses to do so! On top of that, Chloe will grant every bride’s wish of having pockets (whether she knows it yet or not)! Once a bride comes to that realization, she will not be able to look at the other dresses the same! Chloe will immediately be a fan favorite!

Dress Details

Chloe’s back surprises all the brides! The top is fully sheer with some lace appliques. This is interesting because it is the only spot of the dress where any lace or bead work is present. On top of that, she has fabric covered buttons that go from the top of the back down to the bottom of her cathedral length train!

Chloe is available in two different color options: ivory/tan and white/tan. She also comes with detachable mikado spaghetti straps.

She’s Great For:

Chloe is great for a classic bride who is looking to personalize her gown the way she wants! Due to her minimal detailing, brides can choose to pair her perfectly with pearl, diamond, or opal jewelry. She will also have the choice to match any type of veil; from a simple fingertip to a stunning lace and beaded cathedral veil. The options are limitless! Brides could also choose to add their own sleeves with various types of sleeves: off the shoulder, spaghetti strap, beaded, lace, or even a fur shaw!

What Makes Her Special:

What makes Chloe special is her stunning illusion back cutout! This detail alone is what sets this dress apart from all other minimalistics gowns. Brides who are loving the strapless look can still have the lower back feature without losing any essential support. Within this cutout lies nude colored boning, floral lace appliques, and some iridescent beading. This is the perfect touch of detail for a bride that wants a unique feature!

Having this lace panel also opens the door for the bride to match an extravagant lace veil of her choosing. While cathedral lace veils are a common pairing with the simplistic trains, some brides think that the lace can look out of place since there is no lace on the dress itself. With Kitty Chen‘s Chloe, that will never be a concern!

Why We Love Her:

Mackenzie is a fairy tale! She is romantic, unique, and absolutely stunning for every bride! She is a combination of a classic silhouette and trendy design. Her lace is one of a kind with the small leaf and petal embroidery with iridescent frosted beadwork on top. She even has some three dimensional petals that pop off the dress! The summer-like lace paired with the ballgown silhouette creates an absolutely magical dress that brides will not want to pass up.

Dress Details

Her bodice consists of a sweetheart neckline that is blooming with petals! These petals line the edge of the neckline with the overlapping lace that ever-so-slightly hangs over the edge, allowing the dress to have no harsh cuts or lines. Mackenzie’s bodice is unlined, so it is semi-sheer. There is, however, a layer of Chantilly lace as well as a corset boning that lines the bodice, creating dimension and allowing the bride to show a little bit of skin. This feature will also create separation between the bodice and skirt if the bride chooses to change the underlay color to all ivory.

Moving to her skirt, Mackenzie has a voluminous skirt that is covered with the leafy lace detail. There are buttons that cover the zipper closure Her hemline is lined with horsehair that allows the skirt to keep its shape all night long; bustled and all! In pictures, the cathedral length train will lay graciously and flow behind the bride from all angles. There will be no hassle of adjusting it in every picture, so the bridesmaids and photographer will all fall in love too!

Mackenzie is available in three different color options including ivory/champagne/blush/honey, ivory/prosecco/honey (shown in pictures), and ivory/ivory. The bride can use these color options to her advantage when deciding the color schemes of her wedding and taking into consideration the decor and venue characteristics!

She’s Great For:

Mackenzie is great for a bride who wants a grand ballroom wedding during the spring or summer seasons! Her combination of leaf and petal lacing on the ballgown silhouette is unique, enticing, and romantic. This dress will leave a lasting impact on all the guests and they will be sure to talk about it at all their future events! She would also pair great with an outdoor garden venue or country club where she will be surrounded with greenery, sunshine, and florals!

What Makes Her Special:

Morilee made Mackenzie with a detachable lace stole that acts as off the shoulder sleeves as well! This addition will tie in the back for another glorious detail that can be removed and added whenever the bride wants! It is layered with a chantilly lace underlayer as well as the dress leafy appliques on top. The bow can then be tied and it will flow down romantically into the train of the dress. This feature alone will have your guests falling in love with your dress!

Why We Love Her:

This stunning trumpet-style gown 40160 is styled with a delicate floral beaded motif. Sheer cap sleeves frame the V-neckline and V-back. Not to mention, the subtle beaded natural waistline gives way to the slim godet skirt. From any angle, this dress is stylish, flattering, and youthful.

What Makes Her Special:

Additionally, this piece gets high marks for its fitted elegance, comfort and feminine detailing. The subtle nod to classic art deco styling never fails to impress. In fact, one of our favorite features is the godet skirt that adds a flair of movement as you walk across the room or share that honorary moment on the dance floor. The sheer yet beaded cap sleeves offer modest coverage and good range of movement. 

Dress Details

Equally important, the dress is cut from English net. The entire gown is adorned with delicate bugle beads and sequins in the tonal shade of the dress. The embellishment is minimal enough to work perfectly for an afternoon wedding. Yet, still striking enough to transition easily to an after 5:00 affair. Due to the overall beaded elegance of this stunner, minimal accessories would be required. 

There’s a lot to be said about the lightweight comfort of this piece. No restrictive shape wear is necessary to achieve the slimming effects of this silhouette. With this in mind, lingerie straps can be easily added to accompany a regular bra.

Designer: Sophia Tolli

Why We Love Her:

Bethany is a knockout fit and flare with all the right details! Her sheer bodice has a slight peek of exposed boning. Plus a plunge that is disguised with lace overlay to add modesty. Her v-neckline is supported with crystal spaghetti straps that gently rest on the shoulder.

This gorgeous gown topped with two gorgeous layers of lace. The top layer is a floral and leaf appliqué with clear sequins adding a touch of shimmer, and the bottom lace layer is a leafy sequin embroidery that adds extra sparkle with every move.

This unique lace pattern continues down the dress to the flared, tulle skirt, where it tapers off but falls into the perfect placements. The back of Bethany is a show-stopper, with a soft v-neckline leading into a row of buttons that cover the zipper and add just the right finishing touch to a gown so pretty. The train is ornamented with the same lace from the bodice and emphasized with glitter tulle that continues to make the dress shine! 

She’s Perfect For:

This gown is perfect for the bride who wants a little bit of everything in her wedding day look! The blend of laces and sparkle complement each other perfectly to give an all over detailed gown without being over the top. The soft blush underlay makes the detail pop a bit more and accents certain color palettes nicely. For the brides who want a more subdued look, Bethany can be ordered in ivory.

The florals in the lace pattern make Bethany the perfect gown for weddings with ceremonies outdoors. This can include gardens, vineyards, barns, and more! These florals will effortlessly blend with a venue that is pristinely landscaped, and will look every better paired with the bride’s bouquet.

What Makes Her Special:

You can tell that Bethany is special just by looking at her! No other gown can combine so much detail while still allowing the gown to be soft and pretty. This dress is also constructed with a stretch material, making her equally as comfortable as she is stunning. Rather than having a structured fit, the gown will softly hug the bride’s shape to enhance her a figure! This is a gown that will flatter brides of all shapes and sizes.

Bethany is also a gown that you can accessorize to your heart’s content. Her chapel length train lends her to be the perfect gown to pair with a cathedral, lace veil! The veil will frame the train as the bride walks down the aisle, and will look beautiful in pictures when styled by the photographer. In lieu of a veil, a floral clip or flower crown would further complement the lace and vine patterns found in the gown itself! There is so much you can do to complete the look with Sophia Tolli‘s Bethany dress!

Designer: Eddy K

Why we love her: 

Cynthia by Eddy K is chic, modern, and glamorous. From the first walk down the aisle to the last dance of the night, she is sure to captivate attention and leave a lasting impression. With her sultry silhouette, intricate bead work, and unique appliques, Cynthia definitely brings the wow factor.

Her mermaid silhouette is a bridal favorite– she gracefully hugs curves from the bust through the hips, but her gentle flare around the knees still allows for great mobility. Beaded spaghetti straps support the bodice of the gown, and they lead into a plunging sweetheart neckline. Boning helps keep the bodice structured. On the back of the bodice, the beaded straps connect to a V-shaped back neckline that is edged in the same intricate beadwork. 

Cynthia has a bold, textured sparkle tulle all throughout her body and train. This sparkle tulle is one-of-a-kind, and oh so stunning. On top of the sparkle tulle, there are delicate 3D floral appliques and more dazzling beading. The vine-like bead work and stitching throughout this beautiful dress gives the illusion that the 3D flowers are blooming right on the dress. The design is contemporary, yet it has a chic art-deco vibe. Thoughtfully-placed underarm cutouts keep the dress comfortable on brides all day long by reducing the rubbing on the textured tulle. 

The back of Cynthia’s bodice is a stunning illusion. The appliques and beads continue their romantic design, but they appear to be laying directly on the back. A long row of buttons starts at the top and continues all the way down the gown and the length of the train. The train is chapel length which makes it perfect for a dramatic walk down the aisle, but it is still very manageable. Lace appliques decorate the edge of the train and swirl around the bottom of the gown. Lace placed in the middle of the train, combined with the row of buttons, makes for a stunning and easy bustle! Cynthia is available in Ivory/Champagne for a more modern style or Ivory/Ivory for a classic bridal look.

She’s perfect for: 

Cynthia, with all of her modern design elements, pairs nicely with a variety of venue types. Outdoor venues where all her sparkle can catch the light are an easy choice. Wineries, country clubs, and arboretums will compliment effortlessly. Cynthia’s bead work and textured sparkle tulle also allow her to work in more contemporary venues like museums, downtown hip breweries, and chic lofts. Her vine-like embellishments and all-over sparkle make her a great option for fall and winter brides; her blooming 3D floral appliques are fitting for spring and summer weddings as well. Basically, Cynthia is perfect anytime, anywhere! 

What makes her special: 

Cynthia carries very modern elements, like the plunging neckline and 3D appliques, while still invoking a refined, art-deco vibe through her sparkle and beading. Pearls are artfully placed in the center of each blooming applique. The vine-like motifs, composed of rich embroidery and luxurious beading, dance up and down the dress, which elongates brides and helps them look taller. This glamourous design from Italian design house Eddy K. is absolutely a one-of-a-kind wedding dress, and she is a sophisticated and stylish choice for any bride!
