Spring has sprung and so has Dahl! Designer Alison Kelly (remember her?) was on that show with all those designers judged by that German model. Anyway, she has turned her attention to wedding fashion and we were lucky to capture some of her new looks in the spring blossoms.

From Alison:

Floral Print Gown: I get a lot of requests from brides for ‘something different’ so I wanted to
design a hand-painted floral silk gown for that bride who is looking for an unconventional
yet ethereal look. I draped the pattern aiming to create a romantic design with sleeves–
another design detail many brides are looking for these days. I could picture this gown
working beautifully in a garden or outdoor wedding.

Tiered Tulle & Silk Frock: For those ladies looking for something short & sweet with a nod
to times past, my tiered tulle frock is fit a no fuss look for a bride who wishes to show off her
legs and don some fabulous shoes! The bodice is cut from silky soft stretch charmeuse to
achieve a form-flattering fit that’s also comfortable. You could dance all night in this fun
frock.

Empire Waist Sheath Gown: This is my most popular wedding gown, not only is it timeless
and elegant and fitting for many different body types, it can also be cut as a maternity
gown. The classic empire silhouette elongates the legs and the soft, ruched bodice is cut
from a supple and stretchy reverse-charmeuse (where the matte side shows, not the shiny
side). You could style in a classic manner with a mantilla veil or make it more modern with
a chic headpiece.

I’m off on vacation this week to get some rest before the big rush of wedding season. Here’s a little sneak peek of something lovely for you to look forward to when I return! Have a great week!
