The Gown

The location truly decided the dress, says Marielle. Given the rusticity of the surroundings, so many of the more popular designs would have looked decidedly out of place. With contrast in mind she chose an ethereal gown by Pronovias that was embellished at the bodice and had long, flowing bell sleeves made of gauze. Marielle felt a veil would have been too dramatic, and instead wore a tiara made of fresh white flowers.
