Mariana Hardwick, Custom Made

Elegant designer wedding dress by Mariana Hardwick, crafted from 100% silk and detailed with intricate hand beading labelled size 12.

The gown features a clean column silhouette with a scoop neckline and delicate shoulder straps. The neckline is decorated with hand-applied bugle beads, pearls and crystals forming floral and scrolling motifs across the bodice. The beadwork continues along the hem, framing the dress beautifully and giving it a refined Art Deco inspired look.

Subtle pale pink beadwork within the floral design adds softness and depth against the ivory silk. The back of the dress features fabric covered buttons, while the silk skirt falls smoothly for an elegant, understated silhouette.

The detailed beadwork and balanced design give the gown a distinctive Art Deco elegance, combining classic glamour with the clean lines of modern bridal design.

Please try the dress on carefully with the tag intact. If the tag is removed, no return or refund will be accepted.
