Celebrate love and timeless elegance with the “June Bride” Bunny. This exquisite heirloom-quality pattern features a gentle light brown bunny with long, expressive ears, dressed for her special day. She wears a breathtaking pristine white wedding dress featuring a voluminous princess-style skirt adorned with delicate 3D floral embroidery. Her bridal look is completed with a floor-length mesh veil attached to a floral crown, and she wears sophisticated white heels with pearl details.

No bride is complete without her accessories: she carries a mixed bouquet of elegant Calla Lilies and classic white roses. Beside her sits a miniature ring pillow edged in gold, holding the symbols of forever. This pattern is perfect for wedding gifts, bridal shower centerpieces, or as a cherished collectible for doll lovers.
