Lis Simon creates dresses for the modern, stylish, independent bride. “We believe that quality should always be the foundation of our line, and style should always compliment the bride,” the brand shared. “It’s our bride that really brings our wedding dresses to life.” We couldn’t agree more!
Intrigued? We hope so! Here are a few fantastic gowns that showcase the stunning designs from Lis Simon that you can experience first-hand at TWD!
Trending and Timeless: Rachel
Everything about Rachel is at the forefront of bridal fashion right now; the rich subtle jacquard, the scooped neckline on the modern strapless bodice, and the oh-so-hot Basque waist. And yet the brilliant ivory color, clean lines, flattering cut, and button-accented chapel train are as timeless as can be. This gown is a sophisticated take on the hottest trends and an updated classic that will stay current, like the sweet and smokey voice of Shania Twain singing “You’re still the one that I love, the only one I dream of, you’re still the one I kiss goodnight.”
Flowing and Fabulous: Paige
Fun, flattering, and a little flirty, Paige has chart topping potential. Glorious organza creates a sweeping skirt that pours down from the structured boning of the bodice. The draped crepe neckline with understated spaghetti straps is a beautiful look for all figures. This dress needs to be dancing, like the lively harmonies of Tegan and Sara, “all I want to get is, a little bit closer, All I want to know is, can you come a little closer?”
Delighting and Delicate: Rosalie
Rosalie is a dreamy, enchanting, unique gown that has royalty vibes. This dress combines subtle allover lace with an intricate, beaded, cherry blossom applique that adorns the strapless bodice spills over onto the skirt and trails down the detachable tulle train. The rich textures are perfectly complimented by pairing the structured silhouette of the gown with the gossamer floating train. We can see a bride in this dress swaying on the dancefloor to Anne Murray crooning “when we’re together, it feels so right, could I have this dance for the rest of my life?”
Shimmering and Splendid: Ryan
Pearls and sequins cover every inch of this absolutely superb gown. The sheath style dress has a structured bodice with a oh-so-subtle sweetheart neckline and a chapel train that flows out in a iridescent pool behind the bride. Ryan is flattering to every shape, the plus size model is wearing the popular and trending ivory color, while the small size model is shown wearing the darker champagne color. This dress is classy, unique, and mesmerizing, like Sarah Harmer’s voice as she sings “Is it obvious? Does it show? With thoughts of you I am aglow.”
Captivating and Classic: Priscilla
Clean lines and the perfect silhouette are the focus of this lovely gown. Featuring a trending off shoulder bodice, figure flattering asymmetrical wrap detail, and a chapel train, you simply cannot go wrong with Priscilla. And just like you can’t talk about a Canadian Classic without mentioning Joni Mitchell, Priscilla is set to be the dress that comes to mind when you think of a Lis Simon Classic. “I wanna have fun, wanna shine like the sun, wanna be the one that you wanna see.”
Our Collection from Lis Simon is an essential part of our remarkable selection of dresses. We hope you will be inspired to explore Lis Simon dresses and experience the quality, beauty, and excellence for yourself.
