Tulip Two Ways: Style 2232 and 2232L
Today, as the next installment of our ongoing Gown of the Week series, we feature two takes on our gown Tulip, from the Spring 2016 Garden Dreams collection. Brides have responded so well to this dress, and it is easy to see why. The floral lace that covers the gown is visually stunning, featuring a bold, swirling pattern that really makes a sophisticated statement. This statement is perhaps best illustrated on the back of the gown, as the lace frames a gorgeous illusion back. Here, we see the pattern in a much more bold way, than the rest of the dress where it is an overlay against tulle and luxe silky charmeuse. The train of the gown mirrors the illusion back, with the lace extending longer than the rest of the layers to create another instance of sheer lace exposure.
One version of Tulip features dainty beaded cap sleeves, which accent the deep sweetheart neckline beautifully. However, Tulip also comes in a long-sleeved version. For a bride selecting this gown for winter months, or simply the trend-conscious bride who loves the long-sleeve trend, 2232L is a great version of Tulip to explore.
There are other ways to customize and change Tulip to be the gown of your dreams. Sleeves are not the only customization for this dress. Perhaps you want the underlay fabrics to extend with the lace of the train. That is certainly an option. Maybe, you want to change the lining color. Pictured here, we have the Champagne/Ivory/Silver option, though Ivory/Ivory/Silver and White/White/Silver are popular versions as well.
