MT6014PRT | Linden
Inspired by the timeless "something blue" tradition, the Linden gown is a breathtaking twist on the classic ball gown. Imagine walking down the aisle in this airy masterpiece. It features an asymmetrical strapless neckline that perfectly balances the dramatic skirt. But the real showstopper? Beautiful blue floral patterns that gracefully frame the bodice and dance around the hem of the voluminous skirt. This is the perfect dress for the bride who honors tradition but isn't afraid to stand out.

MT6027A | Farren
For the bride who loves a bit of drama and a clean, modern aesthetic, meet Farren. This gown takes soft taffeta and turns it into a dramatic ball gown silhouette, but with an exhilarating twist: a daring high slit. The classic strapless sweetheart neckline is offset by stunning 3D floral accents positioned artfully at the hip, adding gorgeous texture and visual intrigue. The look is complete with a sweeping train, creating a silhouette that is equal parts romantic and runway-ready.

MT6026 | Sloan
Why choose between a gown and pants when you can have both? The Sloan gown embodies the spirit of romantic rebellion. This romantic A-line bridal gown features a daring skirt slit that reveals beautiful corded lace pants underneath! Three-dimensional flowers and lace appliqué enrich the gown's surface, ensuring rich detail from every angle. Finished with a timeless strapless sweetheart neckline and an 80-inch train, the unexpected layered style of Sloan is guaranteed to be a memorable moment.

MT6028 | Hart
Looking for pure, unadulterated bridal fantasy? The Hart gown delivers. This sleeveless ball gown is distinguished by a dramatic double skirt, adding unparalleled layers of movement and grandeur as you glide across the floor. The gown is a textural wonderland, adorned with airy feathers, delicate organza flowers, and intricate three-dimensional lace. This combination of elements brings texture and whimsy to the grand silhouette, completed by a majestic 78-inch train.

MT6018 | Collins
The Collins mermaid gown is a masterclass in structure and sparkle. Designed to shape and celebrate the figure, this gown features a beautifully structured corset bodice, which is highlighted by dazzling beading and classic Chantilly lace appliqué. The sleek zipper back and dropped waist create a modern, flattering finish. For brides desiring a touch of extra romance, optional lace sleeves are available, allowing you to customize your look for the ceremony and reception.
