Where many brides want a dress that reflect their preference and personality, Elsje wanted something different: a dress that embodied her personal style, and yet something that no one would expect her to wear. She wanted something fitted yet fluid and non-constructive. Something sexy, but subtle.

She was in love with a pic she had seen on Pinterest and so we set out to design her dream. The base of the dress was fashioned from white stretched satin. We then detailed the heart-shaped bodice with embroidered lace and a satin band. Long lace sleeves added to the elegance. The skirt was fashioned from silk chiffon and featured a classic court train.

Timeless. Elegant. Stylish and Sexy. Ladies and Gentlemen, the beautiful Mrs. van den Heever.
