The Dress

I wore this dress for my New York City wedding, and it was the perfect vision of modern and unconventional. The two piece is such a unique and stand-out look for a bride that wants to make a fashion forward statement.

Rime Arodaky is a Parisian designer with Syrian roots – she exudes effortless glamour with contemporary edge in all of her designs. This dress came out during the pandemic year and there are not many of them in the world because of this, so it's truly a "one of a kind" type of dress. The sleeves have slits in them, so you can have full coverage over your shoulders, or part them so your shoulders show through. The skirt has gorgeous lace detail that adds a lot of oomph to your veil – my veil was very simple and sheer, and the detail on the skirt made the combination really beautiful.

The top has clasps along one side with additional snap buttons to make sure it's secure. The skirt buttons up the back and includes a clip for the bustle. It's a comfortable dress that's easy to move around in.

Alterations

The dress arrived a lot bigger than my measurements, so we fit both the top and the bottom to my more exact measurements – taking them in and tailoring to the appropriate length.
