Early Access David's Bridal Santa Monica Collection

It was only the third dress I saw on the rack, but I knew instantly that it was the one. I loved the silver & white embroidery and pearl-like beads woven over the whole dress. The intricate pattern is lavish and reminds me of royal gowns that hang in museums. It may not be a flashy designer label, but no one would believe this was off the rack. The level of detail is so exquisite, everyone will want to touch it. The straight strapless neckline is classic and the French bustle gave me the elegance of a small train down the aisle and the ease to dance at the reception with it bustled up. I did wear it through the evening, but it was kept on carpet or off the ground. Nothing was spilled on it. It's been lovingly stored for 12 years, but it's too beautiful to keep on a hanger. Comes with a matching shawl for night or winter weddings, and the mid-length veil with Swarovski crystals sprinkled on it.
