Plunging necklines and a simple, yet bold silhouette made for the perfect gown for Alexa's summertime nuptials at this picturesque villa nestled in San Juan Capistrano, California. 

After sifting through inspiration and sketches, Alexa chose a more minimalist, contemporary approach to her gown highlighting the sleek fabrication and powerful hourglass shape. The drama of the exaggerated front and back necklines, brought the whole piece to the next level.

This look is made of 4-ply French silk crepe and lined to perfection with 100% silk charmeuse. It features a v-shaped front panel of illusion mesh, hand-done hems and finishings, a fingertip bustle, and gorgeous seam lines to enhance her perfect s-curve form. To complete the look, Gretchen created a single layer cathedral length veil to complement the daring lines of the gown. 

The Alexa embodies the perfect mix of sexy sophistication, and only validates that fact that you can never go wrong with the feel of buttery silk crepe and a low back.
