Designer: Wtoo

Why We Love Her:

Lucia is a sweet and sassy little knockout! This gorgeous, lace sheath gown is packed with detail without being overwhelming. Small florals and leafy vines that adorn the bodice and trickle down the skirt. These appliqués pop against the unlined bodice as well as against the layer of Chantilly lace atop a nude underlay. The illusion tank straps provide ample bust support and fall into a gorgeous and tasteful plunged v-neckline.

The back of Lucia’s bodice is equally as gorgeous as the front! The lace and illusion continues down the straps to the back that falls into a low scoop. The pattern of the lace mimics the front as the lace falls into a more strategically spaced out design. Subtle sparkle shimmers from the gown and hits the light with each movement. Lucia’s train is a show stopper with a scalloped, lace hem that trails beautifully behind the bride during her walk down the aisle!

She’s Great For:

This dress is the perfect choice for brides who love lace! There is no shortage of lace throughout this dress, and the botanical patterns on Lucia are absolutely gorgeous. The florals make Lucia a great gown for brides who have venues with outdoor components. Lucia would look incredible at a garden or arboretum ceremony, but would also be the perfect fit at a venue near water! The options are endless.

The color options that are offered on this gown also make her a great choice for brides! Lucia is featured with a nude underlay that makes the lace details pop. This nude color looks beautiful with vibrant color schemes and unique floral arrangements. For brides looking for a more traditional gown or less bold detail, the gown can be ordered in all ivory or with a soft champagne underlay and ivory lace.

What Makes Her Special:

This is a gorgeous gown that is really made special by her unique lace. While the appliqués themselves are delicate, they are arranged in a flattering pattern that makes them appear bolder. There are also multiple lace layers between the Chantilly lace and some of the appliqué stacked atop each other. Wtoo has designed the gown so nicely that it does not feel or look too heavy!

The most special detail is that she can also be ordered with long sleeves! Fall or Winter brides who fall in love with Lucia do not have to worry about being too cold on their big day with the option to order the gown with sewn in sleeves. These sleeves have matching lace that start on the shoulder and cover most of the arm down to the wrist. Make Lucia your own with all her options!

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: Beloved Bridal by Casablanca

See why we love the Beloved Wedding Dress, June, in the details below!

Beloved Wedding Dress June | Why We Love Her:

This Beloved Wedding ​Dress is an amazing dress that is equal parts class and fun! This fit and flare has a thick stretch chiffon fabric that hugs all the bride’s curves in all the right places. June has a square neckline to provide coverage in the front while perfectly angled side cutouts emphasize the waistline. These cutouts lead to an illusion back with exposed boning and gorgeous floral and vine lace! It is the perfect combination of simplicity and lace detail.

Beloved Wedding Dress | Details

In complete contrast with the more simple front of June, the back is packed with WOW factor! The selling point of June is her 113” illusion lace train. This train is scalloped and packed with a 3D floral lace atop thicker vine appliqués. The lace contains subtle sequin details to ensure a touch of sparkle with each step the bride takes. She has a little bit of everything!

She’s Great For:

The Beloved Wedding Dress, June, is the perfect choice for a bride with a variety of style tastes. Any bride who wants a fitted gown will love the way that this one blends contrasting styles together seamlessly! This is the dress for the bride who wants a low maintenance gown that is effortlessly gorgeous. This is also the perfect gown for the bride who wants a timeless dress with the perfect modern flair.

The versatility of the Beloved Wedding ​Dress, June, makes her a winner for a variety of venues, too! She would look beautiful in a country club with her train cascading down a grand staircase while her floral lace would fit right in at a barn or garden venue. This timeless knockout is perfect for any season and can be perfectly paired with any color scheme. There are no rules with this dress!

Beloved Wedding ​Dress | What Makes Her Special:

Any bride who has put her on can tell you that this gown is everything special! Between the ultra-flattering fit, the unique train, and the plethora of places she fits into, this can be the gown for any and every bride. Due to her perfect balance of simplicity and detail, you can dress her up as much as you want with accessories, or leave her as is and she will definitely not feel plain.

Beloved made a matching fingertip length veil for June that adds another touch of floral lace around the waistline that does not overpower the bride. For brides who may not want to add more lace, a fingertip length veil with a plane edge would also be a perfect finishing touch to a gown so amazing. Not a veil bride? Consider adding some florals into your hairstyle for a more bohemian or botanical feel to your look. However you decide to accessorize, it will be the perfect accent to a dress so lovely!

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.

This gown is one of those rare pieces that will fit in almost all venues and event spaces. The understated sophistication of this gown makes it perfectly suited for any event location. Whether it is a beach, winery, rustic barn or ballroom, you will be sure to fit in and still stand out.

MGNY 72722 | Dress Preferences

Firstly, one of the most often repeated replies when we ask what moms are looking for is “something that isn’t too beaded.” Due to the fact that they don’t want to outshine the bride. Nor overshadow the other mother in the wedding party. This dress checks all those boxes, yet doesn’t diminish the elevated honor of being a mother of the bride or groom.

Whether you choose the classic chic ivory/black combination, or go with the more on-trend colors of Seaglass or Dusty Rose, this dress will work on multiple levels. The beaded floral appliqué embellishes the gown, but doesn’t overwhelm or make it appear outdated. 

MGNY 72722 | Dress Accessories

The simplicity of this gown doesn’t require much in the way of accessories. Something delicate and feminine like a floating diamond or jet solitaire with matching earrings would work well for the ivory/black option. On the other hand, you can forego a necklace and add a larger earring with opal or aurora borealis stones to complement the gown. 

Overall, like many special occasion gowns, this MGNY dress features a small sweep train. Additionally, it can be altered with a small pickup bustle to ease movement through the night. Of course, this sweep train may be a bit too dramatic for some moms which is easily remedied by having the train cut by a professional seamstress.

Gown 221D47 is an absolute stunner. Full stop. Reminiscent of the glamorous gowns of 1930’s Hollywood, this gorgeous mother of the bride dress is perfect for any wedding celebration or lavish event.

The beaded tulle dress has a V-neckline, fitted bodice, and beaded waistband. Completing this dress is a fit and flare skirt with horsehair hem. A draped wrap finishes this dress. 

Ivonne D. 221D47 | What Makes Her Special:

The outstanding details on this gown make it a perfect fit for any ballroom wedding or black tie event where cosmopolitan sophistication is front and center.

Overall, the rhinestone, sequin and bugle bead embellishments are consciously crafted on the bias to slim the hipline and elongate the silhouette. Similarly, the beaded embroidered belt gives the impression of cinching in the natural waistline to highlight the hourglass features of this gown.

The cape feature offers arm coverage without the commitment or discomfort of a full sleeve making this gown easy to move and dance in all night long.

Dress Ivonne D. 221D47 Details

The back of 221D47 staggers the mind with its fully covered beaded illusion back accented by the cape culminating in a sweep train. While the cape was not designed to be removable, this could be easily accomplished in alterations and made detachable with a little customizing. 

Offered in either Steel or Rose Gold, this gown will be complementary to a variety of skin tones and complexions to guarantee you shine in any photos. 

Overall, with the attention to detail in this dress, jewelry should be kept minimal. This way, you don’t overwhelm the look of the gown. Additionally, a chignon or soft updo would pair brilliantly with this gown as a longer hair style may obscure the incredible back of this gown. 

This dress demands an equal in sophistication. Pairing the 221D47 gown with a classic tuxedo like the Chandler black satin shawl collar offering from our Tuxedo Department from designer Ike Behar is a must. Whether you’re walking down the aisle or the red carpet, you’ll be sure to dazzle the crowd.
