The Gown

Anne and Ryan embraced a non-traditional theme for their nuptials, and, according to the bride, this definitely included her gown. I wanted something that was sexy, fitted, and stylish in a luxurious fabric, Anne says. After trying on tons of dresses and even choosing her top five, she still wasn't satisfied. She wound up finding a local designer, Terri Spaeth-Merrick, who custom-made her a gown in pale pink silk satin, with an open back, spaghetti straps, and a mermaid silhouette.
