Romantic Monique Lhuillier A-Line Wedding Dress
Fall 2014 Collection
Absolutely stunning, ethereal wedding gown with antique quality. Feminine and delicate, the fabrics are layers of tulle with an array of signature lace details. Embroideries are delicate in floral, lattice, and vine motifs, colored in antique silver and rose-gold threadwork inspired by the timelessness of a secret garden.
"Ivory illusion cap sleeve modified trumpet gown with embellished appliqué overlay. Sleeves can be removed for a strapless style."
Esme is special because each of the appliques you see on the gown is hand-beaded pieces of lace and then appliqued onto the gown. The whole process just for beading the lace alone takes over two weeks to accomplish, according to the designer herself.
The gold threading shimmers just enough when light hits the dress and turns the ivory into a golden ivory hue that makes this dress stand out even more than it already does.
- The dress fit like a glove around the torso with the A-line skirt flaring at the most flattering part of the waistline.
- Cap sleeves are delicate and did not fall down with appropriate tape. They are removable so the dress can be turned into a strapless piece for change of style if desired.
- Bustle is done up in the French style and absolutely gorgeous.
Accessories
I'm including the veil which you can see in the pictures :). Beautiful and complimentary 2 layered, 2 tiered tulle veil with embellished floral lace appliqués. Option to pull the shorter tier of the veil to the front to cover your face for a cathedral-style walk down the aisle.
I have also included the beautiful crystal beaded floral headband I wore (as an option and at no additional charge)
Alterations
Slight alterations simply to get the fit perfect. The bust was taken in slightly to accommodate my size (a 34A).
The Knot - fused romance and glamour with delicate organza cap sleeves, a flattering A-line silhouette, airy tulle skirt, and intricate beaded embellishments. Delicate floral appliqués on the sleeves and skirt added just a touch of whimsy to the look.
