Sleek satin

Slimming illusion
You won’t notice the wow factor until you put it on and realise that you look like you’ve just lost 10 pounds! The clever pleating on this bodice creates
an incredible slimming effect in an instant – no uncomfortable corsets needed!
Beautiful beading
Intricate beading gives just enough sparkle without overpowering the gown. 2014 wedding dresses are all about the subtle details so look for embellishments like this that give your dress the wow factor without looking over the top.
Romantic ruffles
The laser cut organza pleats of this gown seamlessly flow into layered organza ruffles to create a delicate yet high volume skirt. If you want to create a modern princess look, ruffles are the way to go. Voluminous skirts like this will also look amazing in your photos.
Brilliant buttons
The tiny satin organza buttons that trail all the way down the chapel length train on this dress add the perfect feminine touch. The amazing attention to detail in the Lillian West collection really makes it stand out from the crowd.
Keyhole backs
While this style has a modest Mandarin neckline you’ll wow your guests once you turn around and surprise them by showing some skin with this keyhole back.

Perfect petals

Illusion neckline
