Samsara

A bride who likes flowers with visible depth can look closely at Samsara’s roses. Their layered petals rise above a sheer background, with little beads at the centres.

Ivory floral lace covers soft tulle over beige lining; hand-sewn three-dimensional petals and embroidered branches run from the close-fitting bodice to a full A-line and long train. Narrow flower-covered straps leave the arms and shoulders bare between V openings front and back, the front reaching almost to the waist; the gown comes from an EU-based atelier.

For enquiries about Samsara, she can use the directory of DAMA partner boutiques in the UK.

The warmer lining gives her a different view of each raised flower against the lighter lace.
