Renee wore a strapless Ava Laureen dress featuring opulent detailed sequencing, with a low back and circular train. “I absolutely adored my wedding gown,” says Renee, who admits she wasn’t quite sure the dress was for her as she looked at it on the rack. “As soon as I walked out of the change room to get the thoughts and opinions of my bridesmaids, their gasps and tears confirmed that this dress was the one.”
