Elegant Lace Bodice Wedding Dress with Beautiful Flowy A-Line Skirt
I knew that I wanted an A-line silhouette for my body type. I am curvy and like to have a defined waist. After trying dresses in various boutiques in Atlanta and NYC, I came across this dress at Lovely Bride in Atlanta. The designer is Louvienne, and the dress name is Sacha.
Even when I tried the sample, I knew the dress had the right bust support, boning, and shape that I was looking for. The layers are light and effortless, and the champagne undertone really complimented my skin. I felt comfortable and gorgeous in the dress!
My original wedding was supposed to be in Mexico near the beach (but not on the sand). Like many couples, we had to change, cancel, and reschedule several times. We ended up doing an intimate family ceremony in the North Georgia mountains in a vineyard over Memorial Day Weekend, and I could not have been happier with that decision!
As much as we wanted our original wedding party to be there, my husband and I knew it just wasn't in the cards for us to have a large event, since there were still so many unknowns around vaccinations and international travel.
Bottom Line Up Front: we had an outdoor wedding, and the next day, my husband and I had an adventure photo session in North Carolina. Since we had to hike a mile, we changed in a changing pod before shooting.
Condition: There is a VERY small tear on the top layer of the dress, right under the bodice. Honestly, it is barely noticeable, but my cleaners sewed it to prevent the tear from widening during the professional cleaning. If you take out the stitch, you would need a microscope to notice it!
Alterations: I had the straps taken up a little (about 1 in) and the dress length taken up about 3 inches. I am 5'4" and wore 3.5in heels. My alterations person put in D cups for added support. Otherwise, there are no additional alterations.
