Casablanca Customized: Style #2215 + Illusion Sleeves
Are you a hopeless romantic who likes to wear your heart on your sleeve? So is this lovely Casablanca Bride! Getting ready for some serious Autumn vibes, this Wedding Wednesday, we're sharing the love story and custom details of Deanna's sweetly sleeved Style #2215 wedding dress.
"I didnΓÇÖt know exactly what I wanted. I just I knew that I wanted lace, open back and long sleeves," said Deanna as she retold her yes-to-the-dress moment.
After spending some time searching for a dress that inspired her, Deanna stumbled upon Style #2215 at MinervaΓÇÖs Bridal. With creative guidance from the boutique, the bride decided to add a few custom changes to update the dress with her own brand of beauty
"It was beautiful -- every girlΓÇÖs dream dress," Deanna said.
The dress was Casablanca Customized with illusion lace sleeves matching the feminine lace pattern of the gown. The sleeves even included the natural edge detail to match the hemline, giving the dress a look of graceful elegance.
"After seven years of dating, college, and establishing careers-Josh popped the question on December 30, 2015, from the top of the Orlando Eye. With fireworks exploding in the background, tears, and excitement- I said yes! Little did I know that I would be the one caught off guard, going up into the sky a girlfriend and back down, feet touching the ground as a fiancé."
When asked what advice she would give to newly engaged Casablanca Brides, Deanna says, "Breath -- enjoy every moment of the planning process and ultimately, enjoy your day and being with all your loved ones. If something goes wrong, donΓÇÖt worry about it because you are still getting married to the man of your dreams."
According to Vogue and Martha Stewart Weddings, sleeved wedding gowns are a popular trend for Fall brides.
