Blac Mera One-Shoulder Column Gown

Traditional just wasn’t going to cut it for Whitney, when it came to her wedding day look. “I really wanted a dress that was unique, but struggled to find something that wowed me,” she says. She came across what would become her wedding dress, while scanning Pinterest. “The dress was from a designer in California, so I tracked down the phone number and called not expecting for anything to work out,” says Whitney. But to her surprise, the designer had one dress left and it happened to be in her size. The one-shoulder column gown by Blac Mera featured an airy overlay decorated with a hand-painted red tree that added a pop of playful color. Whitney kept the rest of her look simple, adding a pair of crystal drop earrings and a ring that her great-grandparents made for her mother. “The diamond is so tiny, but carries so much meaning,” says Whitney. “They were married for almost 70 years.”rn
