That said, we’re putting so much hope, faith, and good vibes into the universe, and it’s the positivity and community-rallying (in conjunction with the obviously beyond-incredible work of our healthcare heroes) that will inevitably bring us out of this. Fortunately, our wedding world is also full of dream makers - tastemakers and brands who haven’t let COVID-19 dull their sparkle and, more importantly, break the spirits of every bride out there. There will be an aisle to light up someday soon, and Val Stefani’s Lumiere Collection will be waiting in the wings to bring the ✨.

Val Stefani is actually the namesake brand of two of Moonlight Bridal’s fastest rising design stars: Valerie and Stephanie, so you can best believe that the dresses are going to be fire.

With its sexy, shoulder-baring off-the-shoulder style, this net mermaid wedding dress with lace appliqués and beaded embroidery is pure glamour and romance. Set atop a sweeping tulle and satin-lined skirt with allover tonal beaded embroidery, you will find a seriously sexy sweetheart neckline with a deep V at the center.

Let’s take a closer look at this gown fit for a queen, shall we?

This stretch-satin bridal gown features misty shimmer tulle accented with silver embroidery and beading. The detailed embroidery pattern is denser at the top, fading away gracefully as it flows down the bodice. The deep V-shaped back brings sexy style to the mix, as crystal buttons along the zipper add the final touch. It is available in ivory and taupe, solid ivory or solid white.
The details on this dress are simply stunning, from the long illusion lace detailed cathedral train, illusion bateau back, and deep sweetheart neckline this wedding gown stands out from the rest. Aisle-ready details like Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, pearls and seed beads with sequins catch the light, while re-embroidered large floral lace appliqués spiral over every inch of the sparkle tulle. Stretch lining offers an extra element of comfort while the beaded straps keep the bodice where it should be, offering romantic detail simultaneously. You’ll also adore the row of buttons with loops that string along the illusion back and zipper, accenting the curves of your back and bottom. It is available in three classic bridal hues: ivory with taupe lining, solid ivory or solid white.
