For bride Cristina, timeless romance met modern couture in the breathtaking Belen by Milla Nova a gown that radiates elegance, femininity, and refined drama. From its sculpted bodice to its fluid mermaid silhouette, Belen was the perfect choice for a bride who wanted to feel both confident and undeniably graceful on her wedding day.
Crafted from delicate lace adorned with subtle pearl embellishments, this gown is a true work of art. The intricate detailing adds dimension and soft shimmer, catching the light beautifully with every movement. The fitted drop-waist bodice is designed in a classic corset style, featuring structured visible boning that not only enhances the gown’s couture appeal but also provides exceptional support and shape.
The U-shaped neckline, complete with a built-in cup, frames the décolletage effortlessly, striking a balance between sophistication and romance. Beneath the lace exterior lies a sewn-in shaping corset, expertly constructed to accentuate Cristina’s figure while ensuring a flawless, secure fit throughout the day. It’s a silhouette that celebrates the female form while remaining elegant and timeless.
Flowing seamlessly from the corset, the mermaid skirt cascades into a delicate train, adding softness and movement to the gown’s structured bodice. For added drama and versatility, Belen can be paired with a detachable overskirt train, allowing brides to transform their look from ceremony to reception with ease. Cristina completed her bridal ensemble with a stunning veil from Bridal Styles, adding the final romantic touch to her unforgettable look.
Cristina’s wedding day was set against the elegant backdrop of Shadowbrook, a venue that perfectly complemented the gown’s refined aesthetic. Her polished, radiant beauty look was brought to life by Pashka Gjinaj for hair and Ally Crocitto for makeup, creating a flawless balance of softness and glamour. Every beautiful moment was expertly captured by Rafal Ostrowski, while Vengo Films preserved the emotion and movement of the day through cinematic storytelling.
