The Dress

Custom made Lee Petra Grebenau wedding dress, purchased at Powder Bridal in Toronto for my August 2021 wedding.

I decided to take inspiration from multiple Lee Petra Grebenau gowns and took the Leaflet hand beaded detail of the Bella gown and paired it was a body loving shape, and chose a deep v incision. The beadwork is stunning and my favourite as it shows of the craftsmanship. I chose a white silk underlayer (versus the standard nude silk) so the contrast between beading and silk under layer was not so pronounced. I wanted the details to be subtle and elegant, and what turned out was the dress of my dreams.

Top Layer = hand beaded throughout
Middle Layer = White Italian lace
Base Layer = White Silk

For the ceremony, I added a 2-layer tule half skirt also custom designed by Lee Petra Grebenau (included in cost for purchase) and a floor length veil (also available for purchase and included in the cost!), also designed by Lee Petra Grebenau. I removed the half skirt post ceremony for a different look! I chose to affix the skirt via a small, delicate belt as to not disrupt the lace or beading, but you could easily tack right to the dress itself.

This was the dress of my dreams, and while I am sad to part there is a part of me that thinks it deserves to be celebrated and worn, and not sit in its forever box. Regarding care, the dress was dry cleaned by a top specialist in Toronto and sealed in an airtight preservation chamber before being stowed in its final storage box.

Price reflects the dress, the half skirt and veil all custom designed. The dress is currently in Toronto, Canada. Please reach out with any questions that you may have about the gown or accessories.
