‘GALATEA’ WILLOWBY
if you are a bride that thinks lace wedding dresses look like doilies or curtains, chances are, you haven’t found the right lace wedding dress.
let us introduce, galatea, a tulle and lace bridal gown that is equal parts beautiful and unique.
dalia-inspired lace embroidery is delicately placed throughout this tulle a-line wedding dress.
the waist, accented by two velvet ribbon bands, creates a cummerbund look that leads to bows in the back.
available in titanium, moscato, or ivory, this wedding dress is the perfect way to wear a colorful church wedding dress.

‘ALPHA’ VAGABOND
one common consideration when shopping for a church wedding dress is how open of a neckline you want to wear.
while this decision is usually based on your wedding venue and comfort level, off-the-shoulder wedding dresses tend to serve as a good compromise.
off-the-shoulder silhouettes allow for an elegant neckline, but still provide the coverage of sleeves on your arms.
vagabond’s alpha gown is a popular off-the-shoulder wedding dress at a&bé bridal shop.
the stretch crepe material is extremely comfortable, as is the range of motion this particular off-the-shoulder gown allows.
