Glam Carolina Herrera and Marchesa Gowns

Wanting the evening to have a stately, elegant feel, formal attire was a must for the couple and their wedding party. Grier came across her one-of-a-kind gown on Carolina Herrera’s blog and was struck by the intricate gold embroidery and illusion cap sleeves that lent the gown a touch of old-world appeal. She paired the fit-and-flare dress with her mother’s handmade cathedral-length veil, which she had updated by Terry Richard of Hockessin, Delaware. For her two bridesmaids, Grier selected an equally opulent gown by Notte by Marchesa, which boasted a long, sheath silhouette and intricate gold illusion neckline.
