Lea-Ann Belter Primrose Bridal Gown & Veil

This trumpet-style, lace gown was so comfy for my outdoor wedding! She felt like a big ol' beautiful hug the whole day. There's just enough of a train for that wow-factor as you glide down the aisle, but she's also got a hidden handle for pick-ups in a pinch! And once you're ready for the dance floor, she's got a custom color-coded ribbon bustle underneath for easy transition! Even my brother, who was my "Man of Honor," was able to figure it out. Sitting down for dinner was also comfy! My seamstress reminded me during our fittings to make sure to sit down, and I'm so glad we did! The beautiful (real!) buttons down the back and fabric layers themselves have just enough give so that when you're seated, you don't feel constrained. This dress served me SO well on our wedding day—and she had fun! She did travel up into the woods with me for pictures, so I was sure to have the dry cleaners do the full stop. They gave her a detailed cleaning and repair from top to bottom, and she's been boxed up for safe keeping ever since. The veil is boxed in there too! An added $250 expense at the time, but a complimentary bonus to whoever chooses to give this lacey gal a second chance to celebrate some love! Notes: I am a typical size 4-6, at 5'4" and wore about 2.5-inch heels with the dress.
