Christelle was to say ‘I do’ in the picturesque pearl of Cape Town – Paarl – which is known for its breathless, stewing summers. Her dress had to be cool and comfortable, while still complimenting her gorgeous figure.

Her dress was fashioned from off-white silk chiffon – a very light, cool fabric. We rouged the bodice and detailed it with sequenced lace. We also clinched the waist which gave way to a soft and sleek skirt that we lined with scalloped lace and beautiful beading.

I loved how it all came together. It’s elegant but effortlessly so. And I think that’s exactly what a wedding dress should be, yes?
