Classic Mermaid-Style Monique Lhuillier Wedding Dress

“I must have tried on 100 wedding dresses before I found the one,” Katie says. “I knew I wanted something special, something classic and elegant.” On a trip to Ultimate Bride in Chicago, Illinois, she finally found a gown that fit her sartorial vision. The striking Monique Lhuillier design had a figure-flattering mermaid-style silhouette, corset top and rhinestone belt, which she paired with a rhinestone belt. For the ceremony she added an embroidered bolero with pearls, giving the dress the distinctiveness she was after.
