Strapless Anna Maier ~ Ulla-Maija Wedding Ball Gown

Gwen wore a strapless, organza ball gown with a modified sweat-heart neckline designed by Anna Maier ~ Ulla Maija. "It was nothing that I had originally chosen as my look, but when my mother and I set eyes on this dress, I knew I had to try it in. We knew it was probably out of my budget, but all reservations went out the window," recalls Gwen. "I put it on and immediately started to cry. "
