Classic Strapless Lace Mermaid-Style Wedding Dress

When it came to choosing a wedding dress, Erica headed to Mariella’s Creations in Wethersfield, Connecticut. She chose a classic lace gown in a strapless, mermaid-style silhouette and paired it with a fingertip-length, lace-edged veil for the ceremony. “I had also come across photos of beautiful vintage-inspired crystal hairpieces and wanted something a little different from the expected hair comb,” Erica says. “I found a shop on Etsy in Italy and ordered the hairpiece from a woman who makes them by hand.”
