Bridal Friday - Re-creating Ivanka Trump's Bridal Gown

A few months ago, we were awe-struck by the gorgeous Ms. Ivanka Trump and her custom Vera Wang bridal gown.

At the time we were pondering ways to re-create her Grace Kelly-inspired gown featuring elbow-length sleeves done in lace (a requirement for her Orthodox ceremony). And over the holidays, the perfect solutions arrived at The Resale Boutique:

Solution 1 - A beautiful ivory satin gown with short-sleeved scallop-edged lace overlay with sweep train. Lace overlay has beading for shimmer and can be removed if desired. (David's Bridal, size 16/18)


Solution 2 - a simple A-line gown paired with a floor-length, v-neck lace jacket would make a stunning re-creation. (Pronovias, long-sleeves, ivory/silver, size L)

What do you think of Ms. Trump's gown? Has it prompted you to think differently about lace or sleeves?
