A striking Vera Wang gown from 2012, combining a sleek, body-skimming silhouette with extraordinary drama at the back.
The gown is fitted through the bodice, waist and hips, creating an incredibly flattering mermaid-style shape before opening out into a dramatic train. The real statement is at the back, where sculptural oversized ruffles cascade into the skirt and train, giving the gown incredible movement and presence from every angle.
A particularly special choice for a bride wanting something sophisticated and flattering, but with a true fashion moment.
A beautiful example of Vera Wang bridal — dramatic, elegant and designed to make an entrance. Carefully sourced and curated by The Ivory Coven, ready to be worn and loved all over again.

A truly exceptional bridal gown in the most beautiful soft blush silk, finished with delicate pearl detailing at the neckline and organza rosettes at the back.
This is one of those gowns that feels incredibly special the moment you see it. The silk has a beautiful natural lustre and fluidity, while the soft blush tone gives the dress a romantic, slightly ethereal quality without feeling overly sweet.
The neckline is finished with delicate pearl detailing, adding just the right amount of softness and embellishment to the otherwise clean silhouette. From the front, the gown feels elegant and refined; from the back, it becomes something entirely more dramatic. The effect is almost couture — romantic, theatrical and completely unique.
With no designer label present, we haven’t been able to identify its creator, but the quality of the fabric, construction and finishing is exceptional. It is a beautifully made piece and feels far more special than an anonymous gown has any right to be.
A dream dress for a bride drawn to romantic 1990s bridal, unusual detailing and gowns that feel completely individual.

A beautifully romantic pure silk Catherine Miller bridal gown, with all the drama and craftsmanship of vintage British bridalwear.
Cut in an ivory silk, the gown features a fitted, structured bodice with a flattering V neckline and a dramatic pointed basque waist. Delicate floral embroidery, pearl and bead detailing trails down the centre of the bodice, which is echoed on the bottom of the skirt.
The sleeves are softly puffed and ruched through the shoulder, tapering into fitted forearms and finished with rows of silk covered buttons. The full gathered skirt falls from the basque waist into a sweeping train, creating a wonderfully romantic, almost medieval-princess silhouette, finished with covered buttons down the back.
