Florals and weddings are a timeless pairing. And on top of carrying flowers, some brides choose to wear their blooms. One such bride was Hannah, whose dream floral wedding dress, The GC Bridal Lounge made a reality.
In some ways, Hannah’s custom wedding dress was simple. It had a sweetheart neckline, a fitted bodice, and a champagne layered tulle A-line skirt with meticulously hand dyed 3D lace appliques. Simple, but far from forgettable.
As well as the skirt, we embellished the bodice with 3D floral lace, a trend straight from the Spring Bridal Fashion runways. Floral appliques lend texture and glamour to wedding dresses—perfect for when you want to hit a balance between elegance and opulence.
The embellished skirt hem gave the gown a lavish finish, with the overall design painting the impression of rosy blooms beautifully cascading down the wedding dress.
To help Hannah stay in perfect shape, we created a modern V lace-up corset back and a skinny belt. The lace up corset back provided more support for the bodice. while still allowing Hannah some breathing room, while the slim belt drew her in at the waist. A wider belt would have drawn more attention to the waist and given the illusion of a wider mid section.
For the skirt, there was nothing dreamier than tulle. This delicate fabric offset the heavier floral appliques, lending an ethereal glow to the wedding dress. Tulle also photographs beautifully, when seen in different lights and at different times of the day.
This custom wedding dress would not have been perfect for Hannah had the colour not complemented her so well. Many brides overlook the importance of selecting the right hue for their complexion. For Hannah, we hand dyed the tulle and lace in blush champagne. The shade worked wonders with her red tresses and warmed up her fair complexion.
The wedding dress was topped off with a matching veil, easy, romantic locks, and rosy accessories. Needless to say, it all made for a blooming bride.
