Couture Bridal Gowns "Medieval Amber"

design for forest green medieval style wedding dress with hanging sleeves and contrasting embroidered panels

forest gteen medieval style wedding dress with hanging sleeves and contrasting embroidered panels

Inspired by the original "Raffaella" design, Amber's version was in a rich forest green, contrasting with a beautiful embroidered silk containing tones of muted lilac, plum and purple.

The gown was in two parts - a fully lined sumptutous skirt in deep green silk dupion, then a seperate back-laced corset bodice with inner (fitted) and outer (hanging) sleeves.

Amber thoughtfully provided a highly informative "mood board" - a great starting point for design direction.
