Lace, Mermaid Justin Alexander Dress

For a look that was both timeless and fun, Vanessa headed to Alexandra’s boutique where she found a strapless Justin Alexander gown that fit the bill. The mermaid silhouette was a little bit sexy and modern, while lace appliques and beaded embellished added a touch of romance and class. “The dress was perfect,” says Vanessa. “It looked dazzling, but I could dance in it freely and comfortably, which was a must-have for me!”rn
