A real bride in a favourite Elbeth Gillis gown

Anna and Ben – what a delightful wedding, full of Eastern Cape beauty and a rainbow, too! And, Anna got married in one of our favourite gowns, Alicia from the Opulence Collection. This collection is elegant and feminine, light as air and dripping with luxury.

We love Alicia because it shows off the feminine form beautifully while still being sophisticated. The nude-look Chantilly lace bodice has the most beautiful petal and pearl detailing, which adds a delightfully romantic touch to this modern style. The skirt is made of crepe satin and has a godet insert which gives it more fullness and drama. Top it all off with a skinny leather belt and this gown really is the perfect combination of luxury, femininity and sophistication.

Anna said this about her gown: “Thank you so much for the beautiful dress. Everyone has complimented me on it. One of my friends who does a bit of dress making as a hobby said that the way the lace sat on my back made her want to cry a little as she appreciated how difficult that is to actually do.”
