Carine Elmasri wanted a very unique wedding gown for her May 6 wedding to Dr. Rashad Saleh.

As with many brides, trips to area bridal salons proved unsuccessful in meeting her idea of the dream dress.  Strapless wasn't what Carine wanted, and neither were the typical fit-and-flair styles that were in profusion in the stores she visited.

We blended just the right combination of Alencon lace, silk taffeta and silk organza.  The dress was created out of the French imported lace all the way down to the very full flounce skirt.  The organza skirt was completed with almost a hundred lace appliques.  The result was very romantic.
