The Dress

I was looking for the perfect mock neck dress that would feel elegant, classic and bridal. I loved the look of the half lace with the short sleeves for the Fall and a semi-full skirt as we transitioned indoors for our first-dance! I immediately fell in love with this lace pattern and the velvet belt detail (I took the bow off but it can be added back). It wasn’t too floral nor girly, and was just the right amount of sexy conservative. The best part, it surprised me with pockets that were fun for candid photos and dancing!! I felt amazing in this dress! Perfectly bridal for our ceremony, comfortable to dance in and not too heavy to wear all day and night.

Paloma Blanca, size 4, Organdy and Guipure Lace Wedding Dress. Guipure Lace bodice with cap sleeves. Jewel neckline finished with lace. Bodice lined in Natural Italian Tulle. Fabric covered buttons down back bodice. Velvet Ribbon at waist. Full Organdy skirt with pockets and 4” horsehair on hem. Paloma Blanca cathedral veil also available. Professional dry-cleaned immediately after wedding.

Alterations

3/4 inch taken off the original hem to meet 5'6.5'' with a 3'' inch heels. Dress equipped with a french bustle ($250 value) and petty coat layers equipped to add/remove for optimal flow ($200 value). I choose to wear 2 of the 3 petty coat layers to reduce size of gown.
