Modern elegance

Mackenzie is just a dream for brides who are looking for classic elegance with a contemporary twist. This softly shaped fit and flare style features gorgeous lace appliqué sleeves and an illusion neckline that’s just to die for.

Catwalk styling

The plunging sweetheart bodice is offset by the high illusion neckline, so it’s attractively revealing while still offering plenty of coverage. The full-length sleeves decorated with pretty appliqués are truly stunning and help to give this design its contemporary edge.

A glimmer of shimmer

The tiny beads on the lace bodice give it an elegant, understated shimmer.

Take a peek

The back of the dress is just a delight, with its pretty lace appliqués scattered across the shoulder blades and tops of the arms.

Alluring accessories

This dress can be styled up or down to suit you, but we think it looks fabulous with our twinkling  Solstice belt topped off with our regal Regency tiara.

Smart design

And, when your guests can tear their eyes away from the gorgeous illusion details, the softly flaring full skirt doesn’t disappoint either. Did you know, the stylish triangular  ‘godets’ at the top of the skirt help to give it plenty of volume and fullness? You can also wear this style with our 163 underskirt for even more bounce. For similar modern wedding dresses with sleeves take a look at Venice, Lucy and Paris too.

Blushing beauty

Next we have wonderful Rochelle, which features a waterfall skirt, beautiful embroidered lace and the most delicate illusion lace back, all in the softest shade of blush.

A super flattering shape

The fitted, sweetheart bodice and big, ball gown skirt create a classic silhouette that’s ideal for most body types. It's also a style that looks particularly great on pear shapes, since it hides the lower body and creates a stunning, attention-grabbing waistline.

A delicate touch

The barely-there illusion neckline is designed to give gentle coverage while the lace cap sleeves flatter the shoulders and arms.

Awe-inspiring style

The back is a total masterpiece and features beautiful lace appliqués surrounding a neat row of covered buttons.

Get the look

We love this dress styled with our regal Halcyon tiara, encrusted with sparkling crystals, and our amazing Sapphire belt. For full-on evening glamour you could wear it with our fabulous feather Celine bolero too.

Bring on the bounce!

The skirt completes this wow-factor look. It has a double horse-hair trim for even more bounce and looks great with not one, but two of our underskirts. Try it on with our 153 and 163 styles to turn up the volume!

Object of desire

The last of our marvellous modern wedding dresses is Daniella, a wonderful fishtail style covered with exquisite embroidered lace.

A flare for fashion

This fabulous fishtail hugs the body before flaring our dramatically, accentuating the waist and hips. It’s ideal for highlighting a curvaceous feminine silhouette or for adding curves where there are none!

Lively sparkle

Look closely and you can see the beautiful embroidered lace, which has been embellished with a little eye-catching sparkle.

Take the plunge

The plunging back is playful and attractive and the luxurious satin lacing creates an elegant focal point. It also pulls the bodice in, so it hugs curves in all the right places!

Mix ’n’ match

This dress looks magical styled with a sparkling belt at the waist and pretty glittering tiara. There’s a wealth of choice in our Amixi accessories collection but we think our Leonie belt and Regency tiara are a particularly perfect match.

Go for glamour

The full effect of the flared train is truly breathtaking. Just kick the skirt out a little more with our 189 underskirt, which is designed for fishtail styles, then you’re ready to go! For two more equally glamorous looks check out Erica and Whitney too.
