Our fashion forward bride Emily and her groom James celebrated a truly stunning wedding at the Great Wall in China in September 2015. Emily wore the Sanyukta Shrestha long sleeve Wallis silk wedding gown from the Wallis in Love collection and looked simply divine.

This vintage inspired Wallis gown is a stunning handmade piece, made of organic silk with bamboo-silk lace. A delicate hand embroidered circular broach under the small collar compliments a bold keyhole back with scalloped edging of lace, this gown truly flattered Emily’s daring and demure personality with a touch of 1930’s elegance.

THE PROPOSAL

In the house, when I was hungover on a Sunday morning.

MOST MAGICAL MOMENT

When I wore the wedding dress, walking down the Great Wall.

FINDING THE DRESS

I just knew it. It felt right.

THE WEDDING DRESS

I felt like a fashion forward bride.

BEING A SANYUKTA SHRESTHA BRIDE

I was aware that Sanyukta uses eco-friendly and organic fabrics from conversations I had with Sanyukta. I felt it was for a good cause.

WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING ADVICE FOR BRIDES

Don’t try too many – go with your first instinct.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE

Actually, no. I’m a Chinese bride after all. 🙂
