Seraphine

A bride can choose a smooth dress and still have flowers as its focal point. Seraphine places them diagonally across her bodice instead of repeating them everywhere.

Ivory satin is shaped by vertical seams beneath a rounded neckline, fine straps and an open back; three-dimensional petals with pearl centres and cut leaves travel from the left strap across the bust, around the waist and back, then scatter over the upper skirt. Deep pleats open into a full A-line, with a high front slit and long train; the gown is made in an EU-based atelier. It is shown with a ribbon choker bearing a fabric flower and long ties tipped with pearls.

DAMA partner boutiques in Huddersfield carry Seraphine; a call ahead can confirm the fitting sample.
