Strapless Vera Wang Gown With Ruffled Skirt

“This was probably the hardest part of the planning process,” Jeanna says of finding her down-the-aisle dress. “Considering I was going to be almost five months' pregnant at the wedding, I needed to get creative and get a dress quickly. I needed something in stock that would fit me on the big day—and hopefully hide the bump.” The first stop on Jeanna’s wedding dress search was Vera Wang on Newbury Street in Boston. A strapless A-line gown with a gathered sweetheart bodice and dramatic ruffled skirt caught instantly cut her eye, and she fell head over heels for the gown the second she slipped it on. “They had only the sample available, which was too big, but they promised they could make it work. I was a little nervous, so just in case, I spent the next few weeks running around the city trying on every sample gown in town,” she says. But in the end she came back to the Vera Wang gown, pairing it with an embellished navy sash and black Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Crystal pumps.
