Anna in her custom Trianon in ivory 🤍 We started working on the dress in July of last year, and after deciding on the ivory shade for the silk, we had our last fitting in our hotel room in NYC where the two first pictures were taken by @daniel__undo
Anna got married this May in a dreamy ceremony overlooking the ocean in Hawaii. A beautiful bride inside and out we feel so lucky to have met 🍀

our dear Imogen got married last month in New Zealand wearing our Trianon gown and veil 🤍 She chose to have the gown made in the original champagne silk fabric and added extra volume on the hips. We also created a matching tie for her husband 🫶🏻 These beautiful photos were taken by @ciderfilm

This was such a special process for us since it was the first gown to be shipped overseas!

The story behind my civil wedding garden dress:

When I saw photos of this exact dress from AVEC AMOUR’s first runway collection, I knew it was meant for me. Maria is not only an extremely skilled designer and seamstress, she’s also excessively generous. On an early design call for a different garment, I asked about this dress and she leaned out of frame and pulled it from a magical wardrobe. When I asked if she knew what she was going to do with it, she simply told me that it was mine if I wanted it. The connection was instant, and so was our friendship.

I began sketching modified designs for the dress shortly after, some of which are included here. I was inspired by regency-era paintings, greek statues, and nymphs. The phrase, “like a water fairy coming out of a lily pond” came up often in the design process. We worked on the other elements that would complete the look. She sent me photos from fabric stores in Spain. I described a veil to Maria, then sent over a sketch of two flowers above my ears. She immediately went to work on sourcing the perfect vintage peonies, made of silk, which she hand sewed onto the veil when I visited her studio in Pheonix.

The last detail, and perhaps the most challenging, were the sleeves. On her trips between Spain and the U.S., Maria scoured fabric stores. We went back and forth over the perfect fabric that would hold its shape, let light through, and compliment the other materials. We prototyped 3 versions until we had the perfect sleeves. Maria fixed them to my dress with delicate hidden silk buttons.

The final piece is a joyous triumph, a work of art, one of a kind. Silk-lined, antique French lace, pleated silk bra, removable silk organza sleeves, and 1960s German silk peonies.

AVEC AMOUR forever.
