Suzanne Harward, Arcadia

My dress of dreams: the Arcadia - a one-off Suzanne Harward design in colour ‘Latte’ (a soft creamy champagne colour).

Worn in August 2021 for my Ibiza wedding and am still on cloud 9 as to how this dress made me look and feel on the day.

It’s a stunning work of art and brought my boho vision to life! Completely backless with subtle spaghetti straps. Layers of tulle that tumbles effortlessly to the floor with a small train behind.

I ordered this from Australia to the U.K. (due to covid restrictions wasn’t able to go and try on any wedding dresses in real life so figured may as well search online). Fell utterly in love with the images of it and knew it was ‘the one’!

The delicate waistband was a little tight and through fear of accentuating any back fat, I visited a talented seamstress who adjusted the dress to fit me (leaning more towards a 10 than the 8 stated on the label). I also had her create a gorgeous unstructured boho bow to the back to add a little something. This was attached but could easily be removed by a professional (although I had so many compliments on the bow itself!).

I’m 5ft 4 (about 160cm) and wore a low heel of 3cm with the dress.

I can’t put into words how breathtaking this is - from the detailed embellishment across the bust, to the ethereal movement the dress gives - my husband absolutely loved it too, which is a bonus!

Something subtly different from your average white wedding dress - this is guaranteed to make a bride feel a million dollars!

Also comes with full length, single tier, veil (same fabric as dress) - unworn. RRP was $7,995 (AU) - over £4,000, so grab a bargain. Perfect for a destination wedding 💗
