This dreamy wedding dress is a couture piece (made to order for €2,450) from Umit Kutluk, the Dublin-based Turkish designer with a steadily growing reputation in Ireland for luxurious evening and daywear.
In mint, the dress has a strapless beaded bodice and layers of silk tulle and is from his spring summer collection which, he says, “is all about soft, smokey colours” this season.
Shown at Kerry Fashion Week yesterday where he was a special guest, the collection also includes a handsome white crepe shirt with a detachable cape, a practical piece giving two looks in one.
