It’s hard to pick a favorite feature of the dress honestly because this was seriously my dream dress. From the details on the sleeves and bodice, to the stunning train and flow of the gown. I received so many compliments about my dress, it was absolutely stunning to wear.
I felt like the most beautiful woman that day. I hadn’t felt this beautiful, feminine and sexy in a very long time. This dress, was able to help me feel all of those things! I had my third child less than a year ago, so the gorgeous shape of this dress was able to hide the tummy pooch a bit along with the extra curves that come along with having babies :) I felt sexy showing some extra cleavage, but also still very classy. It was a great combination of everything.
We had a gorgeous fall wedding in Bismarck ND. The weather was perfect, sunny and 60 degrees. Everything went as planned. Our colors were absolutely stunning! Our photographer captured every detail we could have imagined. This was both our second marriage, and to have all of our close family and friends there, along with our children and now his step children meant the world to us. It was a day filled with intense emotion, passion and love.

The train. The matching cathedral-length veil. The veil on top of the train! The lace. The horsehair in the skirt. The skirt itself. The blush undertones. Did I mention the train? And the veil??? The drama. All of it!
Like I was a princess, and it was everything I dreamed it would be.
My husband, Jake, and I were married in Estes Park, Colorado on September 6, 2021. Before our ceremony, we drove above treeline into Rocky Mountain National Park to take some photos with the stunning views. A dramatic dress and dramatic photos to match -- those were the two things I was determined to have on my wedding day. We were married at a beautiful and romantic chateau on the mountainside in the evening.

The lace details on the sleeve were delicate and well made. It was stunning
I felt so beautiful on this day. My wedding dress was so elegant and classy. Initially I intended to change my outfit after the official ceremony however this dress felt so comfortable and was so beautiful that I just couldn’t have worn it for only a few hours. So I ditch the idea of having a second option.
It was a the most romantic day. The weather was beautiful in the sweet Caribbean.it was held at Hyatt Trinidad. The room was decorated so soft. The hues in lighting the colours we choose. It was blush and white with hints of gold accents.

I loved the Black lace and the train, which sparkled as I walked. As soon as I seen the Zander dress in Black, I just knew it was the dress for me and would fit our theme perfectly.
So beautiful, like a gothic princess. I have never felt so amazing in my life. It was really comfortable for a wedding dress too and just felt amazing!!
Our wedding was the most beautiful day, which finally happened in December 2021 after being postponed 3 times due to Covid and I literally couldn't of ask for a better day, it truly was the best day of our lives. Our wedding was very alternative, with sugar skulls and lots of black and pink, we also added festival feel finishing touches such as lanyards and wristbands as we love music and going to all music events.

Every lace appliqué detail on the bodice. Specifically went to a boutique that carried this in black to try it on although I knew very well that both our Catholic families would never allow it. Regardless, I fell in love with every piece of it and even more in the champagne colour. Bonus points for not having to go on a diet to wear this.
I’ve always dressed for comfort, so I figured the best way to look my best on my special day was to ensure I was comfortable. Not only was my dress comfortable but it was stunning and made me truly feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. Nothing better than being comfortable enough to walk confidently.
The world shut down shortly after I found this dress (only spent a couple hours trying on dresses before deciding on this). Decided we didn’t want to wait or postpone getting married so we kept our original date & had a micro-wedding on Oct. 17, 2020. A few postponements later on Nov. 6, 2021, we finally celebrated with friends & family. Walking down the aisle in my beautiful dress the second time around felt just like the first.

I love the deep plunge neck and floral lace detail up top. The entire dress is STUNNING! So much beautiful detail.
I felt like a dark princess I loved it!
We got married in the white mountains of Arizona. Gorgeous pines surrounding us super moody wedding with blacks golds and emerald greens. It was the best day of my life and people are still talking about my dress. I had it customized to be all black and removed the champagne underneath the skirt to make it even moodier. I want to wear it over and over again!

We eloped with a couple friends as witnesses in Edinburgh Scotland, at chapel ruins on Holyrood Park. My wife work an equally dark & moody suit. Edinburgh is a dreamy location for anyone wanting a dark & romantic wedding, and Zander in black was the icing on our elopement cake

Everything about this dress was my favorite. If I HAD to choose I would say the long detailed train. Seriously though, I have NEVER received so many compliments on something I’ve owned . It’s just absolutely beautiful
Like a Queen!! Getting all of the compliments from guests and anyone who seen our pictures made me feel SO beautiful.
We married on October 29, 2022. It was a perfect fall day and this dress kept me the exact right temperature ALL night.

The lace, especially around the bottom of the skirt. It's just stunning. I love the light fabric underneath the lace in the skirt as well - it really brings out the lace, keeps it from being too black, and goes really well with the sheer bodice and my very pale skin.
Powerful and beautiful. A little toasty, since I decided to wear a giant ballgown in the late summer, but I knew what I was getting into. Everyone in attendance and everyone I've showed pictures to has been blown away by how gorgeous the dress is.

My favorite feature of the dress was the train, the train, the train. I was specifically looking for a black dress with an open back and long sleeves. Zander checked all the boxes and she was the only dress I tried on. I saw the dress online on a Friday in a different state and bought the dress after a single try on that Sunday.
Like a queen!
We were married at Huntington Castle in County Carlow, Ireland. When we met virtually with our wedding planner in Ireland, she asked for our theme and style, in response I showed her a picture of the dress. She found us the perfect castle and our photographer captured all the magic. When I found Zander, I never would have imagined that I would be wearing her running through the woods of a castle in Ireland. Simply enchanting.

If I had to pick one, because I had many, would have to be the back of the dress and train. It was a lot of dress but it was exactly what I wanted in my wedding dress!
I felt like a queen! I don’t have high body confidence but the dress made me look and feel more beautiful than ever before!
My husband and I wanted a different kind of wedding than most. Think dark and moody romance in the fall. Now it did rain on our wedding day which actually made the mood and theme work even better. As you will see in the pictures it was magical!

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. The fall colors and the black made our wedding definitely stand out from any other wedding. The night was blast and I have never seen so many people dancing at a wedding. We received so many compliments on everything and oh so many compliments on my dress. It was hit.

We had a very small wedding so I planned it all myself, the bride. I was so worried and wanted everything to fall into place. Our wedding day I went smoothly and beautifully. Couldn’t ask for a better day.

The beautiful train. I didn’t want to bustle it I loved it so much!
I felt beautiful and powerful. I really dislike shopping because I’m extremely self critical and it was the last dress I tried on on the first day of trying on dresses. My mom and sisters reaction when I walked out was magic. And everyone was so complimentary on the wedding day. The phrase “that dress is just you” was said multiple times. It was perfect.
My husband William and I were married in an old cigar rolling factory in Lancaster PA in December 2022. We both wanted something historical and moody and it was exactly what we wanted. We did a first look and personal vows just the two of us and then had our ceremony with a little under 100 people. Comfort food, signature cocktails, and ice cream for dessert were on the menu and we opened up the cigar lounge upstairs as soon as the dancing started which our guests loved. Best day ever!

The LACE! The black lace over the nude liner and sheer bust/arms was to die for. It showed so much detail and that’s exactly what I wanted.
I felt like a princess! The long train brought the drama, along with the dress being in black. When it was bustled, I felt like I was in a Victorian-esque dress which was so fun. Everyone loved it, even the guys were fawning over it! I couldn’t have found a more perfect dress for myself.
My wedding day was yesterday! I don’t have photos yet but can share those also when they come! My now husband and I were married at an old farmhouse with a barn that we decorated to feel more classic. Everything was vintage from plates to sofas. Our colors were sage and plum. He wore all black with a floral plum bow tie and pocket square. His vows were so special and I could barely get my vows out through the tears. I definitely married my best friend and am so excited for the future.

It's too hard to choose! I absolutely adored the train and the detail in the skirt though.
I felt beautiful. Zander is a beautiful and extremely flattering dress and I felt confident, beautiful and sexy all in one!
We got married at Davenport house, Shropshire, England and on the lead up to the wedding the weather was so gloomy and wet! Then, the day before the wedding the weather changed and we had the most incredible sunshine. All our guests could mingle outside and we just had the most incredible day. My (now) husband never imagined I would walk down the isle in a black dress and he absolutely loved it! We had the best day of making memories with each other and the people who mean the most to us.

I felt like the only woman in the room. I didn’t want the day to end. I felt on top of the world and the most beautiful.
We had a very small (immediate family & really close friends) intimate wedding. Everyone joined in our small church and it was the most perfect day. I couldn’t have dreamed of anything different.

The detail is just sensational. Each area was made with quality, care and love and everytime I put the dress on I noticed some other glimpse of something different.
I am a girl that loves to be comfortable and my biggest mission was to find a dress I felt just that in. I don’t like to have anything tight around my tummy so this dress sat perfectly on my waist allowing comfort throughout the day.
My Wedding day was held at the beautiful Foxtail Barns in Staffordshire. It was February and luckily for me, the sun made its appearance just as my guests arrived. The ceremony was emotional for my husband and our families but such a special moment to share with all. The weather stayed gorgeous for the entire day allowing us to capture some gorgeous photos on the site of The Tawny Hotel which is on the same grounds as the venue. The whole day was magical and a day to never forget.

I loved being able to customize the dress to make it all black on the bottom, as the nude with black overlay skirt did not really fit the look I was aiming for. The dress itself was beautifully made and I loved the full bodice illusion.
The bust is a little difficult for larger chested women (without a built in corset) but I was able to comfortably wear it for multiple hours.
My wedding was at night on Friday the 13th in October in St. Louis, MO. With a darker wedding theme, without all the Halloween theatrics, this dress worked perfectly.

My favorite feature had to be the train. The train was just incredible. It elevated the whole gown. I also really loved the 3D flowers throughout the gown.
Like spooky, witchy royalty. Like a princess with a little mystery.
We got married in late January of 2023, and we were hoping for a little bit of snow that evening. We lucked out and got a dusting of it during our photo shoot. I saw this dress online, and after trying on about 10-15 white or ivory gowns, I realized quickly that maybe that’s not the color for me. I surprised my mom as a joke, thinking she would hate it, but she actually loved it and it sealed the deal. I couldn’t see myself in any other gown on my wedding day. It was really special.

The sleeves were what attracted me when i saw it hanging in the store. All the beautiful lace, also the train and overall view from the back gave me all the feels.
Like an actual queen. Its big its heavy and i do regret not changing into something else because it is such a ceremony GOWN. But having worn it to both i can say it wasnt that bad, i just would have been more comfortable in something less big for dancing.
It was the most magical day. We eloped the month before knowing that our reception/church ceremony would be much more about our family and friends then us, but it was truly so fun. My vision was to be lost in a garden, candle lit, thousands of flowers, trees with little candles hanging out of them. It was truly a fairytale

I loved that it was black without any additional customization required. The lace is absolutely gorgeous.
I felt absolutely stunning. Zander was the perfect mix of a little bit gothic with a ton of elegance. I never imagined I would find a dress that fit my style so perfectly.
We were married on Halloween with a dark moody theme. We were married in a gothic style chapel with a moody romantic Halloween reception following. There were touches of Halloween everywhere including skull centerpieces with flowers for each table. The Zander dress fit perfectly with the theme.

The drama! And the fact that it came in black made it so special and got me so many compliments. It was the perfect show-stopper for something different.
Beautiful and comfortable! I thought maybe I'd want to change into a simpler silhouette for the reception, but I was comfortable all day in the Zander! I also felt gorgeous and am so, so happy with my dream dress.
We got married at a private ranch in central California with 20 guests (we downsized due to COVID). We had a few nods to our engagement in New Orleans and lots of modern, romantic, minimalist details.

The details and color.
I felt absolutely amazing. A black wedding dress has been my dream dress since I was 12 years old. This dress is everything I ever dreamed of and more. I went into looking for a wedding dress with low hopes and expectations because I know black is frowned upon for a wedding dress color. There’s no words for how perfect this dress is.
My husband and I got married on 12/04/2021. It was at a gorgeous venue that had the most beautiful ballroom and elegant, vintage features. My husband cried happy tears the entire ceremony. He started crying the second he saw me walking down the aisle. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding. This dress is a dream come true.
