The Dress

I fell in love with this dress and I hope you do too! It has a hazelnut under layer which makes the amazing lace pattern of vine-like leaves and decadent blooms pop. I got so many compliments on this dress, it made me feel beautiful, and it was comfortable to wear all day. I wore it mainly strapless, but it also has removable sleeves that fall off the shoulder, or spaghetti straps. Although I did wear the dress outdoors, it remarkably did not get dirty on the bottom and it was dry cleaned after the wedding. I had a french bustle added which made the dress easy to manage during the reception.

The description is:
This stunning combination of lace and tulle offers a soft floral feel throughout, with flourishing organic patterns in a combination of vine-like leaves and decadent blooms shower over the A-line silhouette—popping boldly against the neutral layer beneath for a strong negative space effect. The bodice features a higher, straight across neckline with detachable off-the-shoulder straps for a bohemian princess vibe—the perfect accompaniment to the sheer, corset-inspired bodice with visible boning for a figure-flattering linear effect. As the wider-cut A-line skirt falls into a short, manageable train, the Raven wedding dress captures your truly natural and whimsical bridal style that is casual and effortless, yet utterly exquisite.
