Our breathtaking bride Ariel looked like she stepped out of a modern fairytale in the Antoinette gown from the Leah Da Gloria Wedding Dress Collection. A refined reinvention of Elizabethan grandeur, Antoinette blends historical opulence with contemporary sophistication. This sculptural ballgown features a sharply tailored V-shaped corset and structured pleats that define the bust and hips, cascading into a full, dramatic skirt cut from luxe silk dupion. With an understated invisible zipper at the back and a bagged-out hem for volume and elegance, every detail was designed to command attention.

Set against the iconic architecture of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Ariel’s wedding day felt nothing short of cinematic. The venue’s rich history and timeless beauty provided the perfect backdrop for such a regal bridal look.

Captured through the lens of the incredibly talented Anastasia Shaydakova, each moment was preserved in dreamy detail—from the delicate sweep of her train across marble floors to the quiet intimacy of her getting-ready moments. The day was beautifully filmed by cinematographer Kyle Smith, whose storytelling brought their love to life on screen.

Ariel’s timeless glam was perfected by makeup artist Shannon Cole and hairstylist Nevina Cavero, creating a bridal beauty look that was soft, romantic, and striking.

We were honored to dress Ariel for such a magical day and can’t wait to share more from her stunning celebration.
