Fashion Friday with The Knot: Essense of Australia

Showing off real brides is one of our favorite things to do, so when Essense of Australia took over The Knot’s Instagram feed for #FashionFriday, we just had to show our readers the goods.

First up: Style D2143. Delicate beaded accents add sophisticated sparkle to the otherwise simple heirloom-inspired lace. The bodice is lightly fitted and features sexy shoestring straps in a sheath silhouette.

Style D2143

Our first real bride chose to style her Essense of Australia wedding dress with boho flair. Loose, natural waves paired with a laurel wreath crown and hand-tied bouquet give a very free-spirit vibe. We also love how her ‘maids wore blush mix-and-match bridesmaid dresses and the guys are in navy for a unique contrast.

Also in style D2143, this bride’s style is a little more refined. Her groom chose to wear a classic black and white tux to contrast her very sexy wedding dress.

Style D2038 is a breathtaking bridal gown from Essense of Australia is perfect for a nature-inspired celebration. The illusion lace bodice and sleeves feature elegant corded lace, while the tulle skirt carries the lace detailing through to the hem and sweep train.

Sweetly romantic with an ethereal feeling, this real bride chose to wear style D2038 for her nuptials. A blush belt, bare feet and a white and pink bouquet all lend themselves to the romantic vibe.

And last but certainly not least: Style D2124! The long, illusion lace sleeves of this gown add to the Hollywood-inspired feeling, are adorned with lace swirls, and accented with buttons at the wrists – oh so glam! The lace detailing of the bodice extends down through the hips of the sleek, crepe skirt. The back of this gown is completely lace – the perfect complement to the illusion lace long sleeves. The rich, crepe skirt extends effortlessly into an heirloom-inspired lace train.

We’re a little more than obsessed with how this real bride played up the Hollywood vibes of this wedding dress. Glam curls and a white and burgundy bouquet add subtle touches of sophistication.
