I'm sure every bride says this, but this really was the dress of my dreams, and I still get compliments on it from friends and family!

I joked that my bridal look was minimalist-Enya-fairy-queen. I loved the way the sleeves and the back drape, and that the beading evoked nature vibes without being overtly floral.

The beading detail is unbelievable - so intricate and gives the dress some specialness without being glittery.

I got married in the South, in September, and the dress was lightweight enough that I was comfortable but substantial enough not to worry if it was see-through or too flimsy.

I'm tall - 5'11" - and didn't have the dress shortened at all; in the photos, I'm wearing 3" heels. Some details you should be aware of if you're considering this dress:

Alterations: I had three alterations made - the straps were shortened ever so slightly. I had an interior waist stay added to help distribute the weight of the dress (it made super easy to dance/move in); photos available upon request. There isn't a bustle, but I had a loop added on the undermost skirt layer that makes carrying the short train very easy.

Minor Blemishes:

At the back, a few bead threads came loose that I had sewn down again,
At both hips, there are two small areas where the bead threads wore away - it sounds dramatic but is barely detectable while wearing it (pictures included in my listing).
There are also three dots on the very innermost layer at the bottom hem, which the dry cleaner was unable to get out.

Accessories: I have a shoulder/elbow length, single-layer veil with comb to include, and two belt options, which I didn't end up wearing but are lovely.

Each is a simple 1.5" ribbon with a clean bow at the center, with eye-and-hook closure at a few different widths, one is plain cream grosgrain and the other is cream velvet. I can include those at no extra charge along with the dress!

Condition: The dress was professionally dry-cleaned after the wedding and comes with an unbleached cloth garment bag.
