Vera Wang Ruffled Mermaid Gown

“In high school, I worked at a wedding dress shop helping brides into their bridal gowns, so I had an idea on what sort of look I wanted to go for,” says Mimi. “Something simple and elegant with a touch of modern. Although I had a general idea, the dress I ended up choosing was not something I pre-picked out from a magazine or blog.” Her Vera Wang mermaid gown was the last of the dresses she tried on and was one she had originally passed on, thinking it was too simple. But after trying it on with an embellished sash, she was smitten. She completed her look with a veil borrowed from a friend, chandelier earrings and an elegant pearl necklace.
