Phillipa is continually inspired by the natural world and Marielle Fuchsia Iris serves to unite her love of flowers with her passion for fine hand embellishment. Threadwork cording and satin chiffon appliqué adorned with pearls and crystal beading depict the beautiful flowers that feature in this masterful design. In addition to the threadwork, whimsical laser cut organza and tulle leaves are considerately positioned to contribute an enticing touch of texture to the embroidery, forming a seemingly life-like collage. A beautiful contrast of traditional haute couture embroidery methods and modern laser cutting techniques.

The long sleeves of this wedding dress combined with the soft sweep high neckline offer elegant, bridal coverage; with the eye drawn to a symmetrical design of embroidered flowers that dance across the neckline. A full, circular skirt with petticoats descends into a 75” train, creating a dramatic and feminine bridal look.
