Embroidered Floral Gown by Paolo Sebastian

From Paolo Sebastian’s Nutcracker-inspired collection, this dress is a romantic winter scene. A beautiful icy blue, it looks as though the spring flowers were caught in a sudden frost. It features a deep v neckline, thick shoulder straps, and a voluminous pleated skirt with a train and hidden pockets. This gown would look stunning for a luxe winter wedding.

 

When it comes to veils, you have as many options as weddings gowns. Consider metallic accented veils, embroidered veils, or ombre veils. For minimal color, consider a veil with a precious jewel encrusted comb. This simple custom ombre veil would make a beautiful ‘something blue’!

 

A trendy way to add color to your gown, consider a sash or ribbon. A sash is a quick and easy way to accent your waistline, particularly on a-line gowns. A ribbon on the other hand can be added in various places. Place a single large ribbon on your shoulder for fun mismatched look. Or tie delicate tulle ribbons at each shoulder for a soft and romantic vibe.

Colorful embroidered details are a unique way to add color to your wedding dress. You may purchase a gown with embroidery, or have it custom embroidered. If you prefer minimal color however, consider keeping the embroidery towards the bodice. Take a look at the ‘Forget me Not’ gown by Abigail of Gardenia.

Ombre Skirt 

Ombre skirts are oh so whimsical! Dresses featuring ombre skirts are popping up more and more in designer collections. Whereas you previously had to source an artist to do the work. Or risk the dyeing process yourself! For the least color, look for an ombre in a pastel shade. If you want a darker look, that’s okay too! You might even find a gown that features a multi-color ombre.
