The Dress

Bridal gown "Desert Lily" by Daisy by Katie Yeung.

I felt absolutely stunning in this dress from the moment I tried it on at the dress shop on the Gold Coast. It was just a small boutique with some stunning designs. You know how they say when you're trying on wedding dresses, you'll know it's the one? Well I was doubtful of this and thought it rather cliche, but on that day at the first shop my mother and I visited, this was the last dress I tried on. As soon as I saw myself in it I knew. I could not stop grinning! My heart was full of joy. My mother was brought to tears and I knew this was the dress of my dreams. I felt so beautiful in it in the shop, and then again at my fitting surrounded by my girlfriends and subsequently I felt like a brilliant queen on my wedding day. It is a very flattering fit, I have a smaller bust and wider hips and despite the deep V neckline it accentuates my body in all the right ways.

The wedding dress has only been worn once for my wedding day in December, 2021. I carefully hand washed the dress in my bath, taking care to make sure any small dirt marks on the train were gently removed using natural washing detergent. There are no stains at all on the dress and no damage to any of the lace. The dress has been laid flat to dry and is in amazing condition. I am so excited for another bride to wear it on her special day and my only request is that you send me photos of you in the dress on your special day!

Graphic lace is the stand-out feature of this gorgeous wedding gown. The lightly corseted, slightly translucent bodice features a deep V neckline at the front and the back. This wedding dress clings to showcase your waist and bottom, then flares out just above the knee to showcase the sexy, lace-edged split. The back features fabric-wrapped buttons, and more lace trims a small sweep train.
