Heirloom Style Dresses

Ettiene

Ettiene

With its intricately exquisite beading, this fit-and-flare gown is a perfect picture of both old and new. It has the elegance and romance reminiscent of days gone by, allowing the bride to almost feel like she is wearing an heirloom dress. All the while, the cold-shoulder cap sleeves add a level of excitement and anticipation. The neckline and shoulder straps feature Swarovski crystals, perfectly transporting the bride to the role of a princess from the past. The scoop neckline adds style and appeal, with a classic finish of a crystal button and zipper. This gown is available in an ivory/silver accent over light gold as well as white/silver accent and ivory/silver accent.

Francine

This dress is another one reminiscent of classical styling and romance. The illusion neckline shows a bit less skin than the Ettiene gown while still offering the same dramatic appeal with a complimenting back treatment. This dress is intricate yet simple at the same time, embellished with sequins and embroidered lace over a separate Valentina satin slip dress. It is available with a Monroe slip dress featuring a dramatic low back or a raised back satin slip dress and comes in ivory over light gold as well as white and ivory.

Dakota

Following the same feel of the previous two gowns, this romantic dress is embroidered with heirloom lace appliqués on tulle over a Roma satin sheath. This dress is an honorary throwback to mid-20th century brides, as though the bride is donning her mother or grandmother’s dress, but with some added fancy touches. The gown features an illusion portrait neckline above a plunging V-neckline, detailed with covered buttons and a modestly low back. An optional full-length, embroidered tulle veil is available with this gown, and the gown itself is available in ivory over light gold as well as ivory.

Marisol

The Marisol is reminiscent of a mid-century wedding dress, but with the modern-day touch the sparkling Swarovski crystal-beaded waistband offers, this dress mixes the old with the new perfectly. Sparkling metallic accents line the entirety of the tulle sheath overlay, which is covered with delicately embroidered lace. The Marisol is available in ivory/gold accent over pearl as well as white/silver accent over white and ivory/gold accent over ivory.

Young, Yet Traditional

Sorrento

Sorrento

The Sorrento is a fit-and-flare gown with a young yet traditional look, hugging the body tastefully with asymmetrical ruching and opal organza. The endless volume found in the raw edge layered skirt appears to go on and on. If desired, an opal organza belt adorned with handmade Swarovski crystal floral embellishment is available. An inner corset closure is finished with covered buttons and zipper.

Viera

Another young but traditional piece is the Viera gown. This dramatically romantic dress features lace on tulle with stunning Swarovski crystals sprinkled on in all the right places. The embroidered lace hemline and sweetheart neckline turn the temperature up and send the romance soaring. This intricately designed gown has optional detachable cap sleeves and is finished with a covered button and an inner corset zipper closure. The Viera is available in ivory over light gold as well as white and ivory.

Jennifer

For an elegant, slimming look, the young traditionalist bride-to-be may want to look to this A-line dress. The corded lace on crystal tulle is simple yet stunning with an absolutely gorgeous sweetheart neckline. The illusion back is tasteful and beautiful, and the waist features a grosgrain ribbon belt with a Swarovski crystal brooch. The Jennifer is finished with a covered button over a zipper closure and is featured in ivory over soft blush as well as in ivory.

Old Hollywood

Rosemary

Rosemary

If the bride-to-be desires an Old Hollywood vibe, this dress has it. This romantic sheath dress is less heirloom and more glamorous, embellished at the waist with Swarovski crystals. The bodice is draped beautifully with elegant crossover Paris chiffon. The open back adds inviting appeal while the Swarovski crystal cap sleeves add another touch of elegance. The dress is finished tastefully with a crystal button over zipper closure and is available in ivory as well as white.

Clementine

For more dramatic beauty, the Clementine gown keeps with the Old Hollywood vibe of the Rosemary while adding sophistication and boldness with metallic embroidered floral lace appliqués. The neckline is tastefully adorned with Swarovski crystal beading in this beautiful sheath draped over tulle. Its keyhole back elevates the drama and sophisticated appeal and is finished with a zipper closure. The Clementine is available in pearl with silver/gold accent as well as in ivory with silver/gold accent.

Constance

The Constance keeps some of the Old Hollywood feel yet is a classy, modern interpretive sheath made of dramatic Desta satin. The mandarin collar allows the bride a bit of tasteful modesty, but the heat is turned up most certainly when the bride shows off the captivating keyhole back. The waist is beautifully adorned with a Swarovski crystal belt and is finished with a zipper enclosure. This dress is available in ivory as well as in white.

Irena

This dress is a delightful combination of Old Hollywood and the look of a true princess. This elegant A-line gown is a decadent indulgence for any bride who wishes to feel like royalty on her special day, with metallic beading on tulle as well as shimmering Swarovski crystals. The beaded lace cap sleeves are detachable and optional, and the dress is finished with inner elastic and a covered button over a zipper closure. The Irena is available in soft blush/pewter accent as well as in ivory/pewter accent.

Hampton

The Hampton is similar to the Irena but a bit less dramatic. There is still shimmer and shine, however, as this A-line gown is beautifully adorned with beaded embroidered lace appliqués as well as twinkling Swarovski crystals, which cover the entire length of the dress. The gown features a half-open back, tank straps, and an illusion tulle V-neckline, and it is finished tastefully with covered buttons over a zipper closure. The Hampton is available in champagne/pewter accent as well as in ivory/pewter accent.

Cayleigh

Cayleigh

The Cayleigh is a bolder, breathtaking A-line gown still keeping a bit of Old Hollywood style and adding considerably inviting appeal with a deep sweetheart neckline. The absolutely gorgeous beaded embroidery on tulle is draped over Celia organza, and a more than generous sparkle is provided by beautiful Swarovski crystals. There are optional detachable cap sleeves available, as well as a corset closure or a zipper over inner corset closure complete with crystal buttons. The Cayleigh is available in ivory/silver accent or white/silver accent.

Viola

The Viola transports the bride-to-be to the days of Old Hollywood romance and sophistication. This dress does not push the envelope for drama but offers simple, stunning glamour with a drop cowl neck, detailed with Swarovski crystals as well as crystal embellishments on both the bodice and shoulder straps. The Makoe satin sheath is finished with a side zipper and is available only in diamond white.

Vivien

The Vivien is a Mikado fit-and-flare gown and an apparent mixture of Old Hollywood, Audrey Hepburn-style class and modern sophistication, featuring a tiered train and a deliciously soft scoop neckline. This gown not only offers the bride-to-be boldness and the right sort of drama to turn every head in the room, it also offers choices. The dress is available with a Swarovski crystal beaded grosgrain ribbon belt, a grosgrain ribbon belt adorned with a Swarovski crystal motif, or a tulle three-quarter-length sleeved jacket adorned with Swarovski crystal beaded embroidery. The inner corset back closure is finished with covered buttons and a zipper. The Vivien is available in light gold as well as in white, ivory, or light gold/black.

Modern and Sophisticated

Fontaine

Fontaine

The Fontaine is a gorgeous modern-style ball gown featuring crystal tulle and a sweetheart neckline. The intricately bead-embroidered bodice adds to the sophistication and delicateness of the piece.

Anastasia

The Anastasia is a dramatically glamorous piece featuring metallic embroidered lace on tulle over Orlando satin sheath.

The Anastasia is available in ivory/pewter accent as well as white/pewter accent.

Skye

The Skye dress is a lavish, luscious modern dress with a bit of a Grecian flair.

It is finished simply with a side zipper and is available in the featured ivory or white and pearl.

Regal

Garland

Garland
