Glam-o-Rama
Many glamorous brides are choosing dresses from the Reverie Collection. Reverie offers a unique, non-traditional approach to dressing the bride. The line was designed with the inspiration to create beautiful, current, ready-to-wear inspired dresses and gowns in appropriate bridal colors.
This line was designed for the bride who is confident in her own unique sense of style, and wants her wedding attire to reflect her individual fashion point of view. She is as much the bride who wants the perfect dress wear to the justice of the peace, or the bride whose wedding takes place on a yacht in Greece, as the bride who has a grand wedding but wants to show her individuality.
The unique sophistication of Reverie’s ready-to-wear inspired line appeals to the confident, non-traditional bride. Unlike “Princess Bride” style wedding attire, these gowns are modern and sleek. Fashionistas will love the Cairo dress, a short baby doll dress with beaded straps and ruffle hem. Modern art aficionados will appreciate the strikingly-unique Seville, a strapless, light silk shantung gown with delicate embroidery along the slight drop waist.

The Platinum collection is the embodiment of luxury, featuring sumptuous natural fabrics and elaborate hand finished details. For brides who prefer a more dramatic gown, this couture collection reflects the designer’s signature style of glamour, opulence and romantic fantasy.
The Platinum collection offers gowns that are sure to fulfill every bride’s dream of her most important “Red Carpet “moment.
The embodiment of feminine grace, keep an eye out for a beautiful Platinum Collection wedding gown featuring a textured organza and tulle strapless ball gown with a classic Art Deco inspired crystal belt and a full skirt draped with an organza swag.
If you are looking for a dreamy, princess dress, you will swoon over Platinum style PL272, a silk double faced satin strapless ball gown with elaborate beading, silk satin belt, hidden pockets, huge front skirt appliqué and step down train. Frilly and sumptuous!

Classic Style
Legendary for delivering the discerning bride, timeless elegance and classic beauty, the Priscilla of Boston collection offers the classic bride romantic silhouettes, exquisite lace, and intricate jewelry like beading.
