Ethereal Bridal Look

“When I slipped on Vera’s Leah ballroom gown with a dropped waist and layers of organza ruffles, I was in heaven,” Amanda says. “The organza skirt just moved so effortlessly.” Using a fabric accented with small flower pearls, Amanda had her seamstress add sleeves to the gown. “I always wanted sleeves, and it seemed fitting for a January wedding,” she says. Amanda accessorized with a long dramatic veil embellished with lace applique, along with her “something old”—a headband fashioned from Amanda’s mother’s diamond necklace.
