Hello beautiful brides! Here’s my crazy story: I currently live abroad but got married at home in Texas recently. It didn’t make sense to have the dresses I ordered shipped to me in Europe to then have to travel with them across the planet to get home to get married. So I just had them sent directly to Texas. This meant I only saw them in-person a couple of weeks before the wedding itself, once I had gotten home to walk down the aisle! I wasn’t sure about so many details of the Big Event and knew the time was going to be short, so I ordered a few in very different styles and vibes so I would have a selection of varied options I loved. The choice was not easy, but I had my special fairy tale day and will keep the one I wore forever, as a keepsake. So now I am ready to send the others I did not use on to other happy altar homes...
Please have a look at my other listings to see all 4 up for grabs!
I bought this special, one-shouldered Justin Alexander gown from a boutique’s floor sample models. It is so unique and unexpected, like a Grecian goddess! My favorite thing about this dress is the color, which was impossible to catch adequately with a cellphone picture. It is the softest shades of ivory with accents of light taupe/cream. I have never seen these colors before in a wedding dress. The tulle and lace overlays of the bottom layer make for gorgeous nuances in hues. The beautiful detailing on the overlay are delicate tiny flowers with some tasteful sparkle, and they are grouped in a pattern hugging the torso and waist so it is very flattering. Across the bust the soft organza is pleated and over the one shoulder there is a long scarf that simply hangs down the back dramatically. This scarf can be easily removed by your seamstress if you aren’t sure about it. I was so sorry not to wear this dress for my big day because it is truly elegant and rare. But it was just too cold for my outdoor November wedding! It’s about a street size 8, easy to go up or down. **PLEASE NOTE: I am either holding the excess material with one hand or clipping it (that is also why it is a little wrinkled and bunched on me here!), but the gown is larger than what you see here.
