The Gown
Sheila Marie added her owns sense of style to her bridal ensemble. Inside the bodice of her strapless ivory ball gown, she had the seamstress sew a heart-shaped swatch of her mother's wedding gown. It was so I could carry a piece of my parents' happy marriage with me through my own wedding day, says Sheila Marie. The bride also created her own veil from ivory organza and satin ribbon for a simple, sophisticated look.
