Bridal Session Wedding Day Inspiration

We're swooning over this wedding day session, beautifully captured on film by Kyle John.

The natural light-filled room, airy, elegant mood and intimate nature of a bride on her big day are beautifully weaved together to create one unforgettable wedding story. 

A bridal session is such a fine way to celebrate the love a bride feels for her groom and the sweet anticipation before she walks down the aisle.

She is radiant, effortlessly elegant, and oh-so-gorgeous in a Dove grey Alexandra Grecco gown worn 
with our French lace Roseline blusher veil.

The loveliest atmosphere is created around the bride by the veil's fingertip length, while the floral lace edge adds a classic touch. Cut from the most exquisite French lace and Italian tulles, 

our Veils are inspired by European bridal heirlooms and architecture.

We love to celebrate our brides by crafting the pieces they dream to wear while standing out 
for their modern silhouettes and beautiful laces.

Introducing Giselle Leavers Lace Robe for Anthropologie

We are so excited to share that Girl & A Serious Dream is part of the new Anthropologie Fall Intimates collection!

For the past year, we've been carefully working on new designs - testing brand new concepts and ideas - all while sourcing laces to create the most beautiful pieces. 

Every step of the way we make sure that everything we create is special, well made, and fills you with the feeling of truly owning something unique.

Our Giselle Leavers Lace robe was designed to be a fresh take on the classic robe. We wanted this design to have the essence of a bridal cover-up feel - elegant, sophisticated, and sleek - while staying true to our brand, like our eye for the little details: hand cut engineered scalloped edges, impeccable fit and versatile styling.

G&SD for Anthropologie

Giselle quickly became one of our favorite styles to date. From the moment we slipped the first one on our dress form, its fine craftsmanship and luxe fabric paired perfectly with its comfy, stylish feel. We couldn't be more proud that our Giselle robe is all handmade in the USA with love and the utmost care.

The leavers lace we use was made exclusively for us from the archives of a sixth-generation, family-owned lace mill, where they've been perfecting the art of lace making since the mid-19th century! We were smitten by the softness, and truly love how rich in texture and intricate our Giselle lace is.

Designed with an A-line silhouette for a timeless and flattering fit that easily goes from a lace robe to a chic lace jacket, finished with a removable, matching lace self-tie belt. One of our favorite things about this robe is how it can be styled as loungewear or streetwear: over your best lingerie for a chic, timeless look, or over your favorite dresses as a sophisticated lace cover-up.

We wanted Giselle to stand out, and we knew our signature hand cut lace applique was the perfect finishing detail. By expertly engineering the lace into a special spot on the garment, we were able to blur the lines between tradition and innovation by having scalloped edges all around, creating a truly unique design. 

 Available in ivory & black lace on our shop. Perfect for the holiday season worn over an LBD, paired with a cami and jeans, the options are endless...

In the studio starting production

There is about a full year of development that goes into each piece - from initial ideas to final product. It's a long journey, but it's all so worth it when we see you wearing our designs! 

Working with Anthropologie has been an amazing experience, and we're so thankful to be able to offer our favorite styles through their online shop and large-format stores in Portland, OR, Newport beach, CA.

Thank you for coming along on this amazing journey with us. We can't wait to show you what we have in store for the new season!
