Carien is derived from the french name Carine – meaning: Pure. And that is exactly how I would describe this beautiful bride. Pure of heart. Pure of intent. She’s just lovely.

She also has a lovely figure. Thus, to show of those gorgeous curves, we went for a fitted dress fashioned from stretch crepe, with a slight flair to bottom, and a slanted slit in the front. The nude bodice was embellished with ivory beaded lace, and had a plunging V-neckline in the front and back. The look was finished with a striking gold metallic belt. She also had a detachable silk tulle skirt which she wore for the ceremony. Gorgeous!!!!
