Ethereal Vintage-Inspired Rosa Clara Gown

When Cathleen first started her hunt for the perfect wedding dress for her intimate destination affair, all she knew was that she wanted a gown that had straps and a relaxed feel that complemented Kauai’s island vibe. After spotting a standout Rosa Clara design in a magazine, she tracked down the gown at the nearest bridal shop and scheduled an appointment to try it on. The ethereal dress turned out to be the one. “Once I had the dress, which ended up having a vintage vibe, all I had to do was add the cathedral length veil I had always dreamed of wearing and a pair of vintage pearl and diamond earrings my mother surprised me with at my bridal shower.”
