Meet Corey!
Designer: Calla Blanche
Why we love her: Calling all fairy tale brides because we have the dress for you! Corey by Calla Blanche has everything necessary to help brides feel like the princesses they are. A gorgeous mixture of sparkle, beading, and lace, she radiates romance. With a full a-line silhouette, brides will look like they are walking on clouds with the airy layers of tulle that are sprinkled with sparkle. The layer of sparkle tulle in Corey’s skirt gives her a fresh and elegant look. And it doesn’t stop there!
The bodice is striking. Appliques, beading, and more sparkle tulle come together to create a top that guests soon won’t forget! Beaded spaghetti straps help hold the dress up, and they continue on to create a much-loved V-shape neckline with a plunge.
The plunge adds a little spice to a very sweet gown. The bodice is unlined but has structure through boning; the boning gives her a modern corset-style look. The boning also helps brides achieve a dramatic silhouette. It’s perfect for snatching that waist before the tulle skirt begins.
Atop the gown lies some of the most stunning beaded lace appliques you will ever see. The appliques, with their floral design, are topped with mixed beading and clear sequins. A silver thread runs through them to enhance their design. All of this gives the appliques an impressive, dimensional look.
The floral applique cascades from the top of the bodice down over the waistline, creating a flattering and elegant look. It drips down the top part of the skirt which helps elongate brides. The appliques also wrap around the back of the dress and down the back of the skirt. The high, structured back on Corey makes her a great option for brides of all sizes.
Corey by Calla Blanche is available in ivory/ivory or ivory/light nude. The sample in our store is ivory/light nude. This means the lining of the dress is light nude, and the flowy tulle on top is ivory. Ordering Corey in ivory/ivory means the lining would be ivory as well as the tulle on top.
She’s perfect for: Bold brides looking for princess vibes! Brides of all sizes can feel gorgeous wearing Corey because of the supportive boning in the bodice, straps, and the high back-line. With the floral details and airy tulle, she is a great choice for spring and summer weddings. Moreover, the silver thread sewn throughout the lace pattern, accompanied by the layer of glitter tulle, means that this dress would be a fantastic option for winter weddings as well. Venue types that will compliment Corey’s exquisit and regal design include wineries, botanical gardens, and historic chateaus and mansions.
What makes her special: One look at Corey, and you can tell there is something very special about her. She is romantic, she is whimsical, and she is sophisticated. The full a-line skirt is a once-in-a-lifetime silhouette, and the delicate embellishments are to die for. Every detail on this gown has been meticulously placed; she is a masterpiece. But perhaps one of her most alluring features is hidden within her tulle skirt….pockets! She has substantial pockets where brides can keep meaningful momentos they want to walk down the aisle with or a handkerchief for when vows get emotional.
Calla Blanche has also designed a beautiful sheer tulle jacket with a high neck, and long sleeves that are beaded from the forearm to the wrist, a puff at the shoulders, and ties in the back for a beautiful bow and romantic trails down the train. All in all, Corey is a must-try for brides who love intricate detailing, gentle sparkles, and a striking silhouette!
