Angeliqué: The Essence of Parisian Royalty
“I saw this gown in a dream and had to contain myself from jumping out of bed at 3am to draw her! Featuring supple mikado atop a soft silk tulle ball gown skirt, Angeliqué is a elegant yet sensual choice for your wedding day.”
~Dani Simone, Creative Director of Dani Simone Couture
Inspiration
Angeliqué is the embodiment of Parisian coquetterie—delicate, flirtatious, and impossibly regal. This gown draws from the romantic splendor of pre-revolutionary France, sculpted to evoke timeless elegance and aristocratic grace. With a nod to the grandeur of 18th-century Parisian ballgowns, Angeliqué offers a modern translation for the discerning bride who seeks both charm and sophistication. Every pleat, every layer, whispers of love’s most opulent moments, bringing an air of nobility to any bride fortunate enough to wear it.
Fabric & Construction Details
Crafted from the finest silk Mikado, Angeliqué’s off-the-shoulder neckline glows with a subtle, ethereal sheen that captures light with every movement. The bodice, meticulously hand-pleated, wraps the bride in a soft embrace, a delicate balance between structure and allure. Beneath, layers of soft silk tulle, balanced by stiffer tulle for volume, create a dreamlike ballgown that moves as gracefully as a waltz, while a luxurious silk crepe-back satin layer ensures every touch against the skin is pure indulgence. A boned corset, complete with hand-crafted cups, sculpts the bride to perfection, while the laced back offers an impeccable fit—made for the bride who demands nothing less than flawless.
Embellishments & Design Features
The pièce de résistance of Angeliqué is its breathtaking silk Mikado pleated neckline, where two cascades of fabric meet gracefully at the center and fall towards the waist. From there, the design flows into an exquisite tulle godet, seamlessly blending into the gown, creating a silhouette as graceful as it is dramatic. Every pleat, every fold, is a tribute to artistry, evoking a sense of effortless opulence. A gown that invites the bride to curtsy with grace, Angeliqué is designed for moments of quiet grandeur.
Envisioned Wedding Setting
Angeliqué is destined for a royal affair, one set against the timeless backdrop of a château. Envision the bride, a vision of regal splendor, descending the grand staircase of La Flocièrelle Castle in the French countryside. The golden light of chandeliers flickers on the silk Mikado, as the tulle skirts whisper across the polished floors. With every step, the echoes of aristocratic France come alive. Surrounded by gardens of delicate blooms and ancient stone walls, the bride in Angeliqué becomes part of a legacy, a timeless portrait in an enchanting, historical setting where every detail exudes opulence.
Accessories, Hairstyle & Final Touches
To complement the breathtaking elegance of Angeliqué, we have adorned our bride with heavily beaded pearl gloves, crafted from stretch silk satin, enveloping her hands in luxurious opulence. Her hair, styled in the soft, cascading waves of Hollywood glamour, is adorned with pearl beads woven delicately through each wave—a nod to royalty itself. This hairstyle invites a regal tiara or crown to rest atop, completing her transformation into modern nobility. Drop pearl earrings shimmer subtly as she moves, the perfect finishing touch for a bride destined for elegance, power, and grace.
