Custom Lace Wedding Gown

“I decided on my look by wearing a bit of everything I love,” Ayisha says. “I love beauty of headpieces and face jewelry, so I looked to African and Indian culture and design. I also love vintage, so I looked at vintage dresses, and the ones I loved had lace.” Taking inspiration from various gowns, dress designer Rosalyn Womack created a one-of-a-kind gown for Ayisha.
