Designer: Kitty Chen Couture

Why We Love Her:

Fabiana is a show stopping gown from head to toe! From first glance, her flawless silhouette is a stunner! This is one of the most beautiful, entirely beaded wedding dresses that we have seen. She has a flitted, structured bodice that then flares into a voluminous ruffle tulle bottom. This skirt is lined with a horsehair finish to ensure that the shape is kept all day long! This dress will be perfect for a bride envisioning both a classic, timeless affair or a modern, lavish event.

Beaded Wedding Dresses Details

Fabiana will perfectly compliment every bride who tried her on. Her bodice boning and stiff material will accentuate a bride’s curves, creating a gorgeous hourglass shape and flattering fit. Her modern plunge with a pointed liner neckline twist is an ideal touch to this fashionable dress. This plunge is slightly revealing; however, the mesh insert will still give the bride sufficient coverage and comfortability. Moving to Fabiana’s back, it slightly dips down into a zipper closure. She also has iridescent crystal buttons that line down the zipper. From the bottom of the silhouette, Fabiana’s tulle ruffles extend out into a long dramatic train.

She is available in three color options including ivory/champagne/toffee (shown in pictures), all ivory, and all white. All of these color options will allow the bride to match multiple color schemes, when planning her bridal party and decor.

She’s Great For:

Fabiana, like all of our beaded wedding dresses, is great for a bride who is looking to make a grand entrance! She is the perfect blend of elegance and femininity. Brides will make jaws drop as she walks down the aisle and this dress will ensure all attention will be focused on her all night long. Fabiana would pair great in a ballroom venue at any time of the year. Her versatile features will go great in both a classic or a fun setting, and her sparkle will radiate in any lighting (daylight or chandelier). In this dress, the bride will feel like a true princess!

What Makes Her Special:

Fabiana’s intricate beading is her most notable feature by far! While Kitty Chen is known for her magnificent detail, entirely beaded wedding dresses come few and far between. Unlike other dresses, Fabiana’s bodice does not incorporate lace at all. Her pattern of beading comes solely from the use of rhinestones, peals, sequins, and silver thread work. This detail is presented in a slight “V” design, ultimately creating a very slimming motif that will perfectly shape brides of all sizes!

Fabiana’s gorgeous embellishments are truly one of a kind, making all brides fall in love! This dress is also size, inclusive for curvy brides!

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.

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!

When shopping for your bridal gown as a plus size bride-to-be, you may be wondering what style dress will flatter you the most. The fact is, any of them! When they are tailored to fit your body and you feel secure and beautiful, any silhouette will be perfect! These are the three best plus size wedding dress silhouettes in our store.

1- Mermaid

There is no better shape to show off curves like a mermaid. The structure is such that it will hug everywhere and with the flared out skirt the balance is evened out. Mermaids can come in all necklines, from high neck halter to plunging strapless and this is where you can really make a statement!

Depending on your bust, you may or may not want to consider strapless. Larger bust brides may want to try on something with additional life and support such as a V-neck or a sweetheart with thin straps. So flattering, and a deeper plunge is an option when you are supported properly!

Medium and smaller busts can try out the above as well, but also strapless. Consider adding off the shoulder or detachable sleeves for two different looks. More modest brides may want a higher neck like a bateau.

Try on different necklines to see which one you feel best in and ask for trusted opinions if you aren’t sure. And keep in mind if you are a dancer, mermaids restrict movement in your legs so if you love mermaid but intend to dance the night away, you may want a second reception dress for the party!

2- A-line

The A-line shape is flattering on every body. The fun part of this shape is that you get to choose where the waist falls: is a natural waist or a dropped waist for you?

The natural waist is at the smallest part of your waist, usually where your hands are when you put your hands on your hips. This placement works well if you have a longer torso and balances your shape out nicely. If you have a shorter torso, this can make the bottom half look much longer. If you love the natural waist but have a short torso, a plunge neckline can give the illusion it’s longer.

The dropped waist hugs down farther on the hips. While still giving the A-line shape, the drop allows for extra detail on the bodice and adds a smoother transition to the full skirt.

3 – Sheath

A sleek and contemporary option that can be sexy or conservative, this style has no crinoline or flaring, just a simple straight line down. The sheath can also have different necklines, beading, and fabrics depending on your preference and formality of the wedding. Our plus sized brides who aren’t into the full skirts love the way this silhouette makes them look and feel like a modern bride.

Make sure you try all of these shapes on when you are hunting for your dress. Call ahead to the bridal shops, ask about their plus sized options, and make sure they have a good selection for you to try within your budget. Ensure they have professional stylists who know the best plus size wedding dress silhouettes and can make recommendations and give you ideas for modifications, accessories, etc.

Take your time and trying on all of the plus size wedding dress silhouettes and see which one makes you want to say Yes!

Why We Love Her:

When it comes to detail, Kitty Chen never misses! To say the least, Jeanette truly has it all. From the illusion lace in the bodice to the petaled train, she is fabulous head to toe. Starting at the top, she has a modest, traditional, rounded sweetheart neckline, featuring a slight modern plunge that is the perfect transition into her unlined bodice. This bodice shows the corset boning, and makes the bodice a stunning focal point of the dress.

Dress Detailing

Jeanette’s detail is like a gift that keeps on giving! In her airy a-line skirt, Jeanette has a sexy thigh high slit. This feature allows the bride to get creative with her choice of footwear and show them off all day long. Within her skirt, her floral appliques from the bodice cascades down the top half of the skirt; meanwhile, those same appliques line the hem at the bottom. Beneath that glamorous applique and beadwork, she has a layer of large flowered tulle that is outlined in glitter. This adds to the spontaneous glam of this dress while also creating a glorious dimension of detail and sparkle.

Moving to the back, Jeanette has an illusion mesh back with zipper closure and button additions! While these buttons may stop at the waistline, her train extends downward into a magnificent cathedral length train that is cut into a fun petal shape! Her train is a STATEMENT by herself! It will flow perfectly behind the bride as she walks down the aisle, and due to her lightweight material, her bustle will be perfect for a bride that loves to dance!

This gorgeous wedding dress is available in two gorgeous colors: all ivory and ivory/khaki/toffee. This variation will change the underlayer liner from a bright ivory to a muted nude color, allowing the lace and sparkle to POP!!!

She’s Great For:

Jeanette is great for a spring or summer wedding when the weather is sunny and hot! Jeanette’s sparkle will glow in pictures! And the best part is that the bride will not have to worry about getting overheated due to the lightweight material and sexy slit that is in the skirt. The large floral underlay and floral appliques on top are the perfect finishing touch in any rustic barn or outside garden venue. Bride’s will fall in love with her versatile features.

What Makes Her Special:

What makes her special is her alter ego Jeanette Gwen! With the addition of flowy puffed sleeves (named Gwen), the look gets transformed into a whimsical fairy tale vibe. These sleeves are flirty, romantic, and fun. They are detachable wrap around sleeves with a ruched tulle layer that lays seamlessly across the front bodice. Just when you think it cannot get any better, each sleeve is covered with the same lace appliques as the dress, emphasizing and accentuating the detail even more!

Let’s talk about favors. Whether it’s bridal or baby showers, engagement or wedding party favors, a favor is how we thank guests for sharing their time with us. This tradition goes back to the 17th century where guests would receive small boxes filled with sugary treats and candies. Some cultures consider favors as a symbol of good luck, fertility, wealth, and happiness. Today, the tradition continues and the options are almost limitless.

In this blog, we offer some of the most unique and best wedding favor ideas tour guests will love to receive at your wedding reception.

Are wedding favors still in? Absolutely!

Wedding favors are a fun way to show your guests appreciation for their attendance on your special day. Some are absolutely Pinterest-worthy. When it comes to your favors, do not simply give generic, small items that will be placed unused in a drawer, or worse, left on the tables at the end of the night.

There are some fabulous wedding favors now that will be very much appreciated. Those with a special meaning, with thought and intention given to them, are the perfect favors.

If you are a gift giver and want to lavish your guests with a favor they will love, we have some useful gifts (and affordable) wedding favor ideas that will not simply be left on the table at the end of the night.

Welcome Bags

Welcome wedding favor bags are a great idea and a very personal touch for your guests, especially if you are having a destination wedding. If you have guests that are coming from a distance, and or staying overnight, this is a very nice gesture. 

Included are essentials like water bottles, hand sanitizers with custom labels, ibuprofen, and mints. If your wedding is on an island, think tote bags with coconut water, sunblock, aloe, hand fans, beach towel, or a hat. Hotels will provide toiletry essentials, however who doesn’t love some pampering with luxe products?!

Consider offering destination wedding favors like a pretty basket with hand towels (your colors, of course!), soothing shower steamers, lotions and oils, lip balm, face masks, and artisanal soaps. These are practical wedding favors that your guests will love and appreciate.

If you are having a local outdoor wedding, consider offering umbrellas as a sunshade (or the perfect gift if it’s raining). This is a practical favor that can be used over and over again! Useful wedding favors are always appreciated.

Personalized Gifts

Personalized items are unique and fun! Trending now are personalized matchboxes, wildflower seed packets, and soaps, but let’s not forget options like mini champagne bottles, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate with your own custom label message.

Other ideas include a deck of playing cards, puzzle, luggage tags, or even temporary tattoos! These can be personalized with your wedding theme, initials, or even customized for each guest for the ultimate personalized touch.

Another great way to have personal favors is to have a photo booth. Guests can take pictures all night and capture the memories of the good time had by all! This is an easy way to give your guests some extra fun and less stress on you making sure to have a gift for each individual attendee.

Succulents or Mini Potted Plants

Succulents or mini potted plants are a unique and eco-friendly wedding favor idea that your guests will love. These plants are easy to care for and make for great decorations for any home or office. You can tie in your wedding colors in the pots, containers, ribbon, or tags. Be creative with your theme, for instance a rustic burlap container for a rustic country wedding or a clear container with small shells for a beach wedding. Also consider a packet of seeds they can plant and grow at home; a sweet way remember your day!

Customized Candles

Customized candles are very elegant wedding favors. You can choose from a variety of scents, like one from your wedding bouquet or wedding month flower, and have them customized with names and wedding date. Candles are also a practical gift and a great idea for those who don’t want to break the wedding budget yet make a lasting impression.

Candles are that special touch to incorporate your a little part of your special day into a lasting memory for your guests.

Local or Artisanal Edible Gifts

Some of our favorite wedding favor ideas are when you shop local! If you want to showcase the best of your local area or hometown, local or artisanal food items are the perfect way to do it! Popular choices are gourmet popcorn, artisanal cheeses, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, and small-batch jams and jellies. Local bakers can make custom cookies with your favorite flavors, individually wrapped which is a very unique touch. 

What is your state or city known for? Show it off! Maybe some Philly soft pretzels when it’s a Philly thing!  Edible wedding favors and sweet treats are not only delicious but also support local businesses. Sports themed favors can be very popular wedding favors! Think of what your city or hometown is known for and wow everyone.

Beverage Wedding Favors

For guests who love to indulge in their favorite libations, miniature bottles of alcohol make for fun and unique small keepsakes. You can choose from a variety of spirits and have them customized with your names and wedding date. If you are having a signature drink, offer mini bottles with the alcohol ingredients and recipe to make one at home (see DIY below!). 

For a modern affair or more intimate wedding, a bottle of wine (to include a custom label with a special message of course!) with wine glasses would be a great option. A bottle of your favorite spirit paired with personalized shot glasses, stemless wine glasses, or bottle openers can be used long after the bottle is empty.

DIY Kit Wedding Favor Ideas

If you’re feeling crafty, consider putting together DIY kits as wedding favors. This could include things like a DIY cocktail kit (like mentioned above!), a make-your-own-s’mores kit, or even a soap-making kit. If your big day is near or on a holiday, holiday gifts like a DIY Christmas ornament, Halloween cookie cutters with a dough recipe, Fourth of July sparkler packs, ceramic lucky 4-leaf clover coasters to paint near St. Patrick’s Day, etc.! Unique gifts like these give your guests a fun activity to enjoy after the wedding.

Unique wedding favors are a great way to provide your guests with a small token of appreciation for sharing your wedding day with you. The best wedding favors are the ones you put thought into! There are many creative ways to offer a small gift to top off your memorable wedding. Start by thinking about the theme of your wedding and stay consistent with that.

Originally constructed in 1820, it was redesigned and expanded by Margaret Spencer, one of the first female architects in the United States, in 1927.

In 2000, the barn was reconstructed into six luxury suites with amenities including gas fireplaces, modern bathrooms and kitchenettes, while maintaining the historic charm of a centuries-old property.

This B&B is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. The first thing I noticed was the peaceful feeling on 8.5 acres of beautiful landscaping, mature trees, and stone walkways. It immediately felt like a calming retreat.

The Tour: Chimney Hill Estate

Firstly, this venue started with the barn suites. Fully renovated and each as beautifully appointed as the next. Some even have spiral staircases! Bright, welcoming, and calming, it certainly would be difficult to choose which room!

Moving to the main house rooms, the choice is just as difficult! From the first floor to the third, there will be a room that calls to you. I love historic properties and the quirkiness of their design, including all of the nooks and crannies, lean-tos, wood beams and floors, but coupled with modern upgrades like the stainless appliances, brand new bathrooms, and granite countertops it becomes the best of both worlds.

Ultimately, this is the perfect room to relax and unwind with an afternoon cocktail or a pre-dinner drink in any season, but I picture myself here with a hot chocolate in the snowfall. That would be nothing short of magical:

Chimney Hill Estate Bed & Breakfast

Of course, we cannot forget the breakfast part of a Bed and Breakfast! After a fitful night sleep, continue your relaxing weekend by starting your day with a delicious morning meal here:

This property offers so much more than just a bed-and-breakfast. They have anniversary packages, specials for Mother’s Day, even a sweet area for a marriage proposal or vow renewal and picnic after.

The best part is that they are now able to host weddings up to 100 people! Have the best day ever speaking your vows outside in any season with a reception celebration either indoor, outdoor, or both!

Overall, there are always events being held (like wine and cheese parties, a favorite!) and so many nearby attractions, Chimney Hill Estate is a venue with many lovely and unexpected surprises. This is a great idea as a gift for a couple, a weekend getaway, a birthday, anniversary, or graduation celebration, and can now even host weddings! Definitely worth checking out for yourself. For more information, visit their website!

Designer: Morilee 

Why We Love Her:

Jennifer is a dress that everyone will fall in love with! She’s cute, flirty, and romantic. She has an airy natural A-line silhouette that will perfectly flatter and flow with the bride as she moves. Her bodice consists of a unlined illusion lace with slight boning for structure and support. She has a V shaped neckline with a small keyhole cutout in the neckline where the lace stops, making the dress slightly scandalous.

On top of the bodice, Jennifer has a beautiful floral and vine lace that gradually cascades down into her skirt and up slightly into the beaded strap. This strap is the perfect transition into the low cut scoop back, and the beads are the perfect touch for emphasizing the beading that is on top of the lace as well. 

Jennifer’s back is a showstopping feature of this dress for sure! The beaded straps lead to a gorgeous illusion scoop back with a flirtatious low back keyhole. The detail never stops. Similarly to the front, the lace appliques cascade midway down the skirt. Her train is every bride’s dream. It is light, airy, and the tulle perfectly flows as the bride walks. When bustled, the bottom lace will line up with the bodice lacing, creating a seamless blend.

She is available in two different color options: ivory/porcelain and ivory/champagne/honey. Although there is a slight difference between the two, the champagne dress will show off the lace better and blend with a bride’s skin tone more! This gives the bride some flexibility when matching her bridal party colors as well as steering away from the traditional white bridal look.

She’s Great For:

Morilee‘s Jennifer is great for spring and summer weddings that are filled with lots of greenery and blooming flowers. Her earthy vibes will flourish in an outdoor garden venue or country clubs with lots of open space and sunshine. And the best part is that she is lightweight, so the bride can stay comfortable despite the hottest heat that the summer may bring! 

What Makes Her Special:

Jennifer’s keyhole feature in the front and back of the dress is what sets her apart from every other dress. It is a modern twist on a classic style dress that brides will LOVE! The double keyhole makes the dress cohesive, unique, and fun. Guests will be stunned and everyone will without a doubt fall in love!

The Beginning: 

As Mrs. Potts says “Love doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be true.” I’ve always lived dreaming of a Disney fairy tale. 

Jeremy and I met and it was very easy to love him. So caring, genuine, loving and a true fairy tale. When we first met, he ended up taking a job offer and moving 3 hours away. We did long distance for a while, and within the year of meeting him I took a risk and moved to be with him. Two months after I moved, we went on a spontaneous weekend trip to New Orleans. And that weekend, he proposed! With my dream ring! Complete shock! 

The Pre-Planning Details:

After a few weeks of getting engaged, I called my parents and asked them the bigger question. Are we really going to do this? Their answer: Lets do it! All I could think of was “wow I’m going to get married in Disney!” I grew up going to Disney multiple times a year and since I was 8 years old, I said I was going to get married in Disney one day. And now this day is finally in the works! 

The Dress:

When it was time to start looking at dresses, I knew I wanted a tight mermaid style dress. Darianna Bridal & Tuxedo was the very first store we went to and my mom kept telling me, “You are getting married in Disney, you need a ballgown!” Just to please her, I tried on a ballgown first to get it out of the way. However, that very first dress I tried on I compared to every other dress at every other bridal store we went to. I knew that was the one and we went back to Darianna and I said Yes to my dress, a big ballgown by Kitty Chen with a gorgeous long train and a lot of glitter and sparkle! 

The Pre-Wedding Parties: 

In the middle of planning, my mom and bridal party threw me the most fabulous bridal shower and of course it was Disney themed! 

We did a bachelorette party in the Finger Lakes and it was an amazing weekend with my girls. Wine, shopping, food and lots of pictures and laughter!

The wedding was a full weekend event! First, I had my welcome party as an Epcot dessert party. We rented out Germany in Epcot and had food, drinks, dancing and fireworks!

I did end up wearing a second wedding gown that night specifically for the pictures! And it was a tight straight dress I also got at Darianna! So I got the best of both worlds when it comes to dresses! We ended the Epcot party with a private group ride on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. 

The next day we had ceremony rehearsal and we did a monorail bar crawl. We hopped on and off the monorail at the resort bars. More of a low key night!

The Day Of:

The next day was wedding day. My ceremony was at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion. It’s been my dream since 8 years old. Classic, timeless and Cinderella’s castle in the background.

We used all Disney songs during the ceremony and even had the Fairy Godmother as the officiant! We had the ceremony live streamed, because my grandmother was not well enough to make the trip from PA to FL. As we walked out of our ceremony, Cinderella’s carriage was waiting to take us to the cocktail hour and reception. The cocktail hour was under the fireworks, with unlimited food and drinks. 

The reception was a dream come true. We had our reception at Disney’s Grand Floridian resort. Disney movie themed tables, storybook seating chart, and a Photo Booth were some of my reception elements. Mickey and Minnie showed up the reception and surprised all of our guests on the dance floor for pictures and dancing.

Jeremy and my parents surprised me with the Beast showing up for a private dance. That was the highlight of my reception and the only time I cried the entire weekend! My reception was a dream come true. 

The next morning we did a Farewell Brunch for all of our guests at Disney’s Boardwalk resort. On the boardwalk and overlooking the lake, we had a buffet brunch, complete with mickey waffles. My fave!

The whole weekend was so magical, an absolute dream come true. But more importantly than having my dream wedding, I found my true soulmate.

Why We Love Her

If you’re looking for a wedding gown that exudes elegance and sophistication, the Aviana gown from Kitty Chen Couture is a stunning option to consider. This exquisite dress features a number of intricate details and luxurious fabrics that come together to create a truly breathtaking bridal look.

Aviana is made from a combination of soft tulle and a mix of lace patterns that work together to create a gorgeous, bold statement dress. The combination of traditional and floral lace are intricately placed atop a layer of soft Chantilly lace. The bodice has a deep plunged neckline and swirling lace applique intentionally placed to flatter the bride’s figure. 

This lace continues down the length of the gown, cascading into a stunning one-of-a-kind train. The train is also lined with the Chantilly lace to chapel length. Which then extends to a full lace cathedral length! Your photographer will absolutely love posing this train in different areas of your venue, and your guests will be in awe as you walk down the aisle. It is a real show stopper!

What Makes Her Special

One of the most striking features of the Aviana gown is the back of the dress. The illusion back has exposed boning and is adorned with lace applique that provide a touch of coverage. Aviana also comes with the option to have the back corseted with a soft tulle enclosure. Or, you can remove the tulle and use the simple yet stunning button enclosure that is underneath! Either way, it is sure to take your guests’ breath away.

Aviana also comes with a detached long sleeve for the bride who wants to have a few different styles on her big day! The sleeve has a poof at the bicep, while lace and illusion cascade down the arm to the wrist. These can be worn during the ceremony and taken off when it is time to dance at the reception, or left on all night long. The choice is yours!

She’s Perfect For

Aviana is a truly stunning choice for any bride who is looking for a dress that is unforgettable and dramatic. As if the gown did not already have enough to love, Kitty Chen makes an incredible matching royal length veil to complete and elevate this look! The veil was designed to perfectly frame the already incredible detail of the gown without covering anything up. This is a perfect way to add even more drama to your look without having to commit to bustling a royal length train.

There is so much to love on a gown like Aviana. It is the perfect choice for a bride who is looking to turn heads! Overall, this dress is perfect for venues like ballrooms, hotels, and museums. Ideally, your venue would have a good space for the train to flare out for pictures, or even a grand staircase to drape the train down! 

With its intricate detail, luxurious fabric, and flattering design, Aviana is sure to make you look and feel like a star on your wedding day.
