A Strapless Mermaid Gown Fit for a Princess

Although everyone expected her to get married in a princess-style ball gown, Nicole opted instead for a Madeline Gardner mermaid gown with a sweetheart neckline and a semi-cathedral train that “added elegance and drama to the overall look just like the tail feathers of the albino peacock.” She accessorized with a custom gold belt (that she designed herself), her grandmother’s ring, borrowed earrings from her bridesmaid, and sweeping veil (that she found for $10 on eBay!).
