From an early age Sophia Apostolides was fascinated by design and immersed herself in the different fabrics she was exposed to by her aunt, an accomplished dressmaker. She has retained this love of luxuriant fabrics and seeks out only the finest for her stunning wedding dresses, knowing that the feel and the drape is such an important part of the finished product. While other designer of wedding dresses may fashion a dress in tulle, Sophia Tolli considers the wide choice of different tulles available and selects the perfect one for each design.

Sophia Tolli designer wedding gowns styles sumptuous satins into striking silhouettes, utilizing Duchess satin, majestic satin, de-lustered satin, Paris satin, shimmer satin and Venus satin, each offering a slightly different weight or sheen to make the gown unique. In addition to these lovely fabrics, she also styles lace wedding dresses specifically soft lace, sequin lace and Guipure lace, in taffeta and dream taffeta, and in brocade and point d’esprit. Often the fabrics are layered or are the tapestry for exquisite embellishments that stand out with a luscious texture that demands to be touched.

In addition to her appreciation of fine fabrics, Sophia Tolli also developed a passion for experimenting with modern cuts from an early age and this passion can be seen in the stunning silhouettes she creates. There is a silhouette to flatter every bride whatever her size or shape, ranging from fitted silhouettes that cleave to the figure through to fanciful ball gowns with ruffles, tiers, or layers. There are classic A-line silhouettes and stylishly dramatic trumpet gowns. One of the signature looks in this line is the asymmetrically draped fit and flare silhouette. The modern fitted and fit and flare silhouettes in this collection are very fluid and not constricting, designed to move with graceful ease. The asymmetrically draped gowns denote a classic elegance with a hint of Grecian influence and when the drapery is combined with a dropped waistline they are incredibly flattering for most shapes.

Many of the dresses have a lace-up corset back, another signature look that ensures superb structure and a spellbinding fit. Many bridal gowns offer an alternative back so a lace-up corset can be swapped for a concealed zipper back accented with diamante or covered buttons, to suit the brides personal preference. In a similar vein each strapless gown comes complete with detachable spaghetti and halter straps to suit the bride that prefers the extra level of support they offer.

The finest attention to detail in a Sophia Tolli plus-size wedding dress is shown in the careful placement of fabulous embellishments that range from the most delicate to attention grabbing. Lace appliques are widely used to adorn bodices and are scattered over skirts, while crystal beading embellishes necklines and waistlines, illusion straps, cap sleeves and backs. Richly textured appliques include pearl accented lace appliques, embroidered appliques, hand beaded lace appliques, and crystal beaded appliques, three-dimensional floral appliques and sequin lace appliques. Each adornment adds a special touch to the wedding gown, creating a whimsical romantic image or adding a note of elegance. There is a sensual appeal to an illusion back that is adorned with delicate crystal beading and will draw all eyes as the bride stands at the altar to exchange vows. The groom will imagine an illusion strap slipping from the shoulder to give way to his lips. Beading is used to accentuate the cut of a neckline, giving a strapless sweetheart neckline a shimmering appeal.

From scoops to straight strapless, every kind of neckline is worked into the Sophia Tolli collection which embraces plunging V-necklines, off-the-shoulder necklines, illusion jewel and bateau necklines. Illusion necklines top sweetheart bodices and V-cut bodices showcase halter necklines. Surplice bodices are styled with asymmetrical pleats that follow the flow of an asymmetrically draped silhouette. Skirts flow in gossamer light layers or are as structured as a bride can wish for. While most skirts are unadorned others feature stand out details such as rosebud embellishments or beaded lace appliques. There are ethereally draped skirts in whispers of light layers or full skirts that cascade into scalloped lace hemlines. Magnificent chapel trains flow behind the dresses, fulfilling a bride’s image of the ultimate bridal fantasy.
