Five of our favourites from the Modern Romance collection:

Dress: GUENIVER | STYLE Y3135

Gueniver is dreamy, romantic, and everything a fairytale wedding dress should be, featuring a semi-sheer bodice, beaded lace appliqués, and a deep V-neckline. The detailing on the bodice and tulle, off-shoulder straps are perfectly complemented by the misty tulle A-line skirt, with lace that trickles onto the top half of the skirt. The soft-flowing skirt is finished off with a horse-hair edge, providing some gentle structure and more volume to the elegant train.

NOTES: Gueniver has a matching accessory: a dreamy veil, sold separately. And for a more modest look, Gueniver is available with a filled-in bodice.

Dress: BETHANY | STYLE Y3136

Crafted from luxurious materials including sequin tulle, misty tulle and stretch jersey, this figure-flattering fit and flare wedding dress will not disappoint. The sequin lace that decorates the semi-sheer bodice and dramatic flared skirt exudes an enchanting and magical vibe. The bodice features a plunging V-neckline that leads to beaded embellished spaghetti straps. Bethany features a low V-back, which is covered with fabric-covered buttons. The perfect finishing touch is the grand chapel-length train with glorious floral lace details.

Dress: ELVIE | STYLE Y3124

Elvie is a jaw-dropping fit and flare gown that is equal parts dramatic and sophisticated. The sweetheart bodice features a deep V-neck and is decorated with floral sequined schiffli lace appliqués. The iconic fit and flare silhouette is crafted from cascading layers of glitter and misty tulle that creates the train of dreams. The back of Elvie keeps serving surprises with the sheer back bodice that truly makes the sequined schiffli lace appliqués the hero of this dress. Elvie is completed with sparkly tulle off-shoulder straps with subtle lace details that perfectly complement the glitter tulle in this dress.

Dress: RIANNE | STYLE Y3125

Making a statement through its understated elegance, this strapless ball gown is lovingly crafted entirely from organza and features an iconic sweetheart neckline. The draping on the bodice hugs the body in all the right places making Rianne equal parts flattering and comfortable. Brides can twirl the night away with Rianne's alluring soft-flowing skirt that features a slit.

NOTES: Pair this dress with her matching gorgeous 3D floral off-shoulder accessory.

Dress: BEATRICE | STYLE Y3121

Beatrice is an iconic clean and classic Sophia Tolli Australia design, elevated with sequined schiffli lace appliqués and a dreamy misty tulle overskirt. This seductive fit and flare silhouette features a gorgeous semi-sheer bodice that is artfully decorated with luxurious lace appliqués which trickle onto the royal crepe and stretch jersey fit and flare skirt. The back of Beatrice offers a hint of sexy with its daringly, low cut back and chapel length train. Beatrice is finished off with the luxurious, misty tulle overskirt with floral lace details.

NOTES: Beatrice is available without the overskirt.
