Vienna Aster & Fern
‘Vienna Aster & Fern’ is a classic, romantic lace wedding dress with a soft, modern silhouette.
This romantic interpretation of the iconic ‘Vienna Low Shoulder Bow’ gown features a delicate hand-embroidered tulle overlay, softly tied into bows just below the shoulder.
Intricately lily of the valley motifs are hand-stitched across the tulle, each one individually placed to flatter the body. The flowers appear to float and drift across the surface of the tulle in varied directions, creating a sense of lightness.
The overlay sits over the signature ‘Vienna Low Shoulder Bow’ gown, with its draped off-the-shoulder neckline, hand-tied vows, corseted duchess satin bodice and full satin organza skirt.
Lily of the Valley is a defining motif within the collection, long associated with love, luck and marriage. The atelier has refined this embroidery over decades, perfecting each tiny bell through meticulous handwork. This year, the design reaches a new level of realism with 14 individually developed motifs. Each flower and leaf is hand-crafted using satin, stem and bullion embroidery stitches – the very best of British couture.
‘Vienna Low Shoulder Bow LOV’ is styled with fine jewellery by Mikimoto, shoes by Emmy London and a sustainable bouquet by Shane Connolly MBE. For the ‘Chapter Forty’ collection campaign shoot, ‘Vienna Low Shoulder Bow LOV’ was also styled with a couture, satin organza bound silk tulle veil.
