In the second half of the 17th century, the art of the floral still-life reached the height of fashion. Lush arrangements set against dramatic dark backgrounds exude a mysterious romanticism which inspired the Still Life Collection. A Dutch floral masterpiece comes to life in our Raven black and silver couture wedding dress. This unique embroidered wedding dress features shimmering silver sequins that are tempered by an overlay of colorful embroidered black tulle. The waist and low open back are embraced by beautiful floral accents. Painterly pink and red roses dance all along the skirt and trail down the dramatic cathedral length train. The rich embroideries give the effect of a painting come to life, while the brilliance of nature’s beauty is highlighted to dramatic effect. Raven is available as shown in shades of red, pink and sage embroidery on black tulle with Pearl sequins and silk, OR in Ivory and Silver embroidery with any of our silk color choices.
