You know that rush you get when you something you absolutely love and immediately begin picturing you having it, wearing it, strutting in it — Bottega Veneta boots, Hermès handbag, Cartier necklace, Balenciaga dress… ‘k so I’m a brand-name type of girl (if you’re judging, don’t). Well, that’s what happened when I first saw one of Moira Hughes’ couture wedding dresses. If my eyes could’ve turned into the emoji with the hearts in ‘em, they would’ve. This is le dress I’m talking about:
Carina (literally made for dancing the night away), a sparkling dress with sheer tulle sleeves adorned with a linear sequin feature.
That’s from the New Alchemy Collection, BTW
What’s the Alchemy Collection?
Moira Hughes, Founder and Designer of Moira Hughes Couture, discusses the collection and shares, “Love is the alchemy that transforms ordinary things into precious ones.”
It’s time for you to go into the world of Alchemy with this collection that is “inspired by the magical process of transformation, where something flat takes form and shape. [T]his collection embodies the essence of creation and metamorphosis. Much like an alchemist turns base metals into precious ones, this collection skilfully plays with the fluidity of drape, the incorporation of pearls and crystal, transformative additions, and hand-beaded details.
“In Alchemy, you'll discover gowns that go beyond the traditional, where each is a testament to the artistry of transformation. Alchemy is designed for the bride who seeks something truly distinctive. It’s for the [bride] who embraces transformational details and craves a touch of high fashion and personality in her gown. A gown that is meticulously crafted to be an extension of her identity, a dress that feels like ‘her.’”

That halter neck on Adeline is pretty cool…and it come off so ceremony can be different.
