Would You Like A Dream Wedding Dress from Justin Alexander?

The Justin Alexander Spring/Summer 2016 Collection has arrived and it embodies Old Hollywood glamour with a return to simple elegance and timelessness through the use of rich fabrications, delicate lace and classic details. And, you know what?



The new Justin Alexander wedding gown collection includes intricately beaded gowns in dramatic shapes from mermaid to gorgeous ball gowns. And, there's lots of tulle, lace and organza with hundreds of hours of hand workmanship in each gown. Here's just a few descriptions of the styles available:

Style 8811 {top left}: a plunging sweetheart neckline with floating beaded lace appliques is a focal point of a sophisticated fit and flare gown with all over Chantilly lace, beaded appliques, and matching hem lace

Style 8822 {bottom right}: a dreamy classic A-line gown with a Queen Anne neckline featuring hand placed beaded lace and point d’esprit underlay is topped off with a fashion-forward illusion back

The Just Alexander collection also features a return to a simpler elegance in rich fabrications such as soft Mikado, Silk Dupion, silk chiffon, and luxe charmeuse. The gowns bring a timeless look with refined detailing and a hint of the 1950s culture. This is illustrated in Style 8825 by an elegant Silk Dupion ball gown with piping at the neckline and waistline, a full gathered skirt, and pockets.
