1. The LBD
The LD3906 is what I would consider the little black dress amongst the wedding dresses. This amazing mermaid wedding dress is simply a work of art. It incorporates exquisite lace details throughout the dress to the scalloped train and gives the bride a romantic and elegant feel.
An eye-catcher is the strapless sweetheart neckline. Last but not least the back is adorned with shimmery beadwork that oozes lavishness and sophistication and is a guaranteed head turner.

3. The New Chic
Everyone has a favorite color or an idea of how they imagine their wedding dress will look. There is no need to shy away from dark colors. Although friends or family will most likely try to steer you away, acknowledge their concern and let them know that this is your big day and you have always wanted something else, something more.
The LD5445 (Retired) is a dress that could be straight out of “Breakfast with Tiffany”. The gorgeous lacework that surrounds the upper part of the corset screams girly chic. The pearled sash around the waist is an added bonus and adds that vintage vibe. (Explore the black dress list here)

5. The Grace Kelly
In a perfect balance between modern edge and classic romance, the LD4902 with its off-the-shoulder gown features a corset bodice with delicate lace details and sparkling sequins. Its plunging V-back gives way to the voluminous tulle skirt, which finishes in a court train. A grosgrain ribbon completes the look and defines the waist. This is certainly a dress that brings out a sense of charm and mysticism on your wedding day.
