The Dress

Stunning, ethereal allover beaded lace dress from Flora Bridal's 2021 collection. The dress has a jaw-dropping low back with pearl button details and a gorgeous train. It sparkles subtly all over from beads and clear sequins and is made from the most unique and beautiful floral lace--truly one-of-a kind.

This is the Elle gown, purchased as a sample directly from the atelier. It was customized for me by the designer to modify the neckline to a straight neck with spaghetti straps.

The Flora website has an excellent video of how the dress moves, which captures the sparkle more accurately than photos: https://flora-bride.com/2021-the-enchanting/elle/

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned. There is a small snag where the lace is slightly puckered close to the hem. It is not noticeable and was present all throughout my wedding day (and in the above pics)--the lace completely camouflages the snag.

I felt so magical in this dress and would love to see it enjoyed again! Happy to include my veil and the nude slip/shapewear I wore underneath for free :)

Alterations

Dress was altered at the atelier to customize the neckline. It was further altered to add easily removable cups to the bust, an underskirt to make it less sheer, and loops for bustling.
