Alvin Valenta Lace Mermaid-Style Wedding Dress

“My dress was amazing. As soon as I put it on, I knew it was the one. I felt stunning and sexy and classic and beautiful,” Rachel says. “And the style was perfect for my petite frame—I’m five feet tall.” The Alvina Valenta mermaid-style gown was covered in a layer of delicate, ladylike lace, lending the dress an undeniably romantic feel.
