Diamond HeartBridal Couture · Hanan Bakri

A bridal ballgown named for one component: a large crystal heart, made as a separate brooch in our workshop and then set at the centre of the corset, with beaded drops falling from it down the front of the bodice.

The corset around it is sheer and boned, worked with vertical lines of crystal, and finished at the top with a band of white ostrich feathers that runs the whole way across the strapless neckline. The skirt is enormous: white tulle covered in a regular field of crystal dots, dense at the waist and spacing out as it falls, so the surface fades rather than stops.

The heart and the feather band are both removable, which changes the gown for a second wearing. Swarovski work of this weight is booked months ahead. Message the atelier in Amman on WhatsApp.
