My husband calls me ‘fawn,’ and so I wanted my dress at our wedding to enchant him just like a fairy tale. A fawn embroidered in beads and velvet details appears on the back. A fabric butterfly with crystals and lace rests on the side. It leads into the enchanted forest that adorns the skirt of fluttering tulle on double silk satin.

Velvet and silk inlays draw shrubs and a variety of natural elements, while an interplay of transparencies and shimmers creates a mosaic of flowers of all sorts. Countless hours of handwork have stitched together myriads of delicate crystals, trimmings, and macramé and valenciennes lace to bring this magical garden to life.
