Strapless Dropped Waist Wedding Dress

"As a recently deployed member of the military I was able to receive a free wedding gown from the charity Brides Across America," says Katie. "My mother and grandmother flew in to surprise me and we headed to an event at Poffie Girls Salon in North Carolina. I was treated like an absolute princess and walked out with a Maggie Sattero gown. It is an incredible organization and I feel so lucky to have been a part of it!"
