The beauty of this formal gown is that it looks just as good with white slide sandals as it does with espadrilles or heels and is also short enough not to drag on the floor

With meticulous attention to detail, the designer's keen eye for opulence and refinement is evident in every piece

You can enhance this aesthetic with dramatic makeup, like smoky eyes or deep green accents, a classic pointed hat, and a flowing cape

Make sure you add an additional layer, like a pashmina shawl or faux fur shawl to your wedding attire
