The Dress
My absolute dream wedding dress, this Vera Wang original was bought in London from Brown's Bridal and transported back with me in November 2013. It has only been worn once on my incredible wedding day and has been dry cleaned plus is kept in pristine condition in it's original Vera Wang dress bag. My mother owns an evening wear store, so she has ensured it is kept in the perfect conditions to maintain optimal quality. The diamante studded sash was bought from Vera Wang too - adding a bit of a glamourous touch to the whole look. There is also the option to get another sash made up so that you have two 'looks' for your special day. Not only is this dress gorgeous, made from the top-class fabrics and designed by the world's leading wedding dress designer, but it is also so easy and comfortable to wear- an absolute DREAM! I feel that this beautiful gown deserves to be worn again by an amazing Bride!
More about this special dress:
There are so many beautiful aspects to the Gemma gown. Perhaps the most otherworldly element is the ethereal combination of French tulle and organza, something you wouldn’t expect in a gown with such a defined mermaid silhouette.
Still, this is a very soft mermaid: I didn’t want anything to be too rigid. We used bands of tulle, wrapping around the body like a swirling cyclone, and ending in bias-cut flanges, which are deconstructed, abstract blossoms in tissue organza: it’s the perfect storm. Inside these rosettes I’ve added what I call “blizzard beading”: hundreds of tiny little sequins scattered all around. Once the dress is in motion, you get the thrill of that subtle play between lights and darks, but in the form of rosy, feminine blooms.
Between the blossoms and the beading, there’s certainly a pageantry in the base of this gown. It’s an absolute celebration of volume that is meant to be very dramatic, with the fantasy of a ball gown and the sensuousness of a mermaid gown combined. If you desire even more drama, a bride might choose to add a sequined belt for just a little flicker of beading, to really highlight the waist. Combined with the shimmer of sequins in the cut blossoms of the skirt, it’s a very dynamic look from every angle.
Gemma is one of my more glamorous dresses, giving the bride something slender and sleek up top, and at the bottom the flash and splash of sequins and dynamic volume, for the ultimate wedding day spectacle.
