Floral bridal train with leaves in the rear view

A floral bridal train defines this rear view. Pale flowers and leaves continue from the waist across the flared skirt and farther down the spread-out length. Large quiet areas remain between groups of motifs. Above the skirt is an open back with fine pale straps converging towards its lower edge. The design therefore combines two different kinds of line: narrow straps at the top and branching floral shapes across the lower section.

Use this picture to describe a specific preference for train decoration. Do you want denser detail near the waist with scattered extensions below, or a more even distribution across the full surface? Judge that difference from a distance comparable to the photograph. A small flower can be appealing close up yet become less prominent beside the large overall shape of the skirt.

Add a veil only after making that comparison. Its length and edge may overlap the motifs and create a second boundary across the train. At the fitting, ask how the actual train could be carried or lifted later. Seeing the proposed arrangement will help you understand what happens to the visible flowers when the fabric is gathered up.
