For a bride with a love for timeless glamour and architectural beauty, Melanie’s wedding day look was nothing short of extraordinary. Wearing a masterpiece from the Elysee by Galia Lahav, Melanie stunned in a gown that paid homage to Parisian elegance with couture craftsmanship and bold, modern drama.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Park Chateau, Melanie’s bridal moment was every bit as majestic as the gown she wore. The structural, corseted mermaid silhouette of her dress sculpted her figure with precision, featuring sheer cutouts that added an alluring edge to the otherwise classic design. Embroidered French lace—delicately inspired by the ornate wrought iron gates of the Elysee Palace in Paris—adorned the bodice and train, creating a textural tapestry that exuded regal sophistication.

A high-neck, long-sleeved illusion top added a touch of vintage refinement to the look, beautifully balancing the gown’s sensual structure with graceful coverage. The fitted sleeves and neckline extended into a breathtaking tulle overskirt—complete with an irregular hem and layers of soft, cascading fabric—that added an ethereal dimension and enhanced her every step with movement and volume.

Melanie’s ensemble was the perfect blend of strength and softness, Parisian opulence and modern femininity. It was more than just a gown—it was wearable art.

Her look was completed with flawless beauty by Brunah Dasilva, who created a soft glam makeup look that emphasized Melanie’s natural beauty, and Corinne Quadrel, who styled her hair to complement the high neckline and regal flair of the gown. Together, they created a bridal look that was polished, powerful, and unforgettable.

Captured to perfection by the talented Mikey Romeo, every photo tells the story of a bride who embraced luxury, couture, and romance all at once. From the sculptural silhouette to the majestic train, Melanie’s gown was a celebration of detail and drama in the most elegant form.
