What brides ask about The Luciana

Do illusion long sleeves feel restrictive to wear? Not at all, and this surprises most brides who try The Luciana for the first time. The illusion fabric is sheer, lightweight and flexible. Brides who have worn this dress tell us the sleeves feel like wearing nothing at all, while the lace cuffs add beautiful detail without any stiffness.

Does The Luciana work for a spring or summer wedding too? Absolutely. While the sleeves make it ideal for cooler months, the lightweight tulle skirt and illusion fabric mean it is equally wearable in warmer weather. Many brides choose it for spring weddings simply because they love the coverage and the aesthetic, and find it no warmer than a strapless style once they are wearing it.

What venues suit The Luciana? Its regal, detailed character is perfectly matched to grand cathedrals, historic manor houses, country estates and luxury hotels. Within Berkshire, it would be magnificent at venues like Wasing Park, Cantley House or Silchester Farm. It also photographs beautifully in churchyard and garden settings.

Is The Luciana available in extended sizes? Yes. The Luciana is available to order across our full size range. Ask your stylist at your appointment about sample sizes and lead times for your size.
