Girl Next Door 

Everyone loves the girl next door. She’s a classic beauty with a sweet demeanor and a simple style. A classic wedding gown that oozes romance is the perfect choice to complement the natural beauty of both the setting and the bride.  It’s somewhat traditional in style yet has the allure of purity, simplicity, and effortless charm.

When your destination is set in a cityscape, sophisticated luxury is a given and a wardrobe to match is a must. A no-frills elegant gown that exudes power, perfection, and femininity is a match made in heaven.
