Luxurious Couture, Ready-to-Wear & Wedding Dresses | Tony Ward Couture

We are mesmerized by the sparkle of the Vetiver dress. On a table, a couturière is meticulously embroidering layer upon layer of sequins and crystals on a flora inspired bustier. ‘It has been three weeks already of working on this dress, and it will be another week until we are done.’ The dress is a playful mix of organza and tulle in a creamy white, lightly golden, unique shade created by the savvy tricks of the atelier magicians.

We come upon the Olea dress, a golden greige shade coated in scintillating silver. Our eyes are captured by the ethereal hoodie veil with its beaded drops and delicate sleeves that the bride can remove when the wedding party begins, and a voluptuous overskirt.

A couturier is working on the Secret gown, embroidering glitters on a 3D bustier, the trick, we are told, is giving structure to layers of soft silk. The silhouette is also particular, with its dropped waist, the gown is intended to flatter a lady’s figure, ‘this creative touch is found across some of the dresses from the Wildlife Gems collection’.

Our atelier tour is over, the twinkles in our eyes are everlasting. Bejeweled bridal gowns inspired by nature’s wonders; wildflowers shimmering on majestic volumes, beads stitched into diamond shapes, 3D floral embroidered corsets and the structured tenderness of silk and organza.
