Modern Mermaid-Style Wedding Gown

Bride Beth was inspired by the classic silhouettes worn by Rosemary Clooney in White Christmas.

The Bride

Bride Beth wanted a dress inspired by Old Hollywood starlets with a modern, colorful twist. Working from a classic silhouette inspired by Rosemary Clooney in White Christmas, the bride’s vision came to life.

The Gown

The dramatic gown features a fitted bodice of fuchsia four-play silk crepe and a contrasting ivory satin faced silk organza skirt. The skirt is embellished with tiers of flowing fabric. The Barbie doll look is completed with a tulle underskirt and a sheer kick pleat in the back of the dress.
