A-Line Hayley Paige Gown

Anna thought she wanted a tea-length gown with a punch of color, but she couldn’t find a dress to fit that vision. While she was shopping, a wedding dress consultant listened to her description, then pulled a “wild card” for her to try on (and told her to save it for last). While Anna admits it didn’t match her original plan, “I loved it even before I tried it on,” she says. It’s a floor-length A-line gown with an ivory-layered-over-peach and-navy tulle skirt, gathered sweetheart neckline bodice and abstract and asymmetrical beading from neckline to midthigh. It had the perfect kiss of color and neckline, and it wasn't too heavy. “The dress picked me,” Anna says.
