Our girl Maggie came to us as a fashion girl with a major dilemma: what to wear down the aisle when you could wear any designer dress you wanted? Designer Katharine Polk and Maggie worked together for almost 10 months on this stunning custom gown which features a hand embroidered organza tunic with high ruffled collar over a slinky slip dress. Maggie wanted the drama but also the practical ability to remove the slip and wear her short dress to her after party "bar hopping" in Jackson Hole. Definitely one of our favorite brides yet!

Man Repeller's Leandra Medine: "What I'd Wear To My Wedding If I Could Have A Do-Over"
"I got married five years ago in a dress that I found two weeks before my wedding. I was 23 and living at home; the entire ordeal was essentially a party that my parents were throwing for themselves, but at which I would be the guest of honor. I served exactly no purpose throughout the planning process, but graciously elected to find my dress. It was the single responsibility I maintained. Two weeks before the wedding, my mom marched into my room with a thick-ass folder titled “Leandra’s wedding” and asked when she could see the dress. I had an idea of what I wanted: something delicate and light at the top that would explode into layers and layers of tulle around mid-thigh. I wanted to wear a leather jacket over the dress. There would be a flower crown (It was 2012! This was still a novel idea back then!), and so many gold necklaces. Technically, I did not have a dress yet. I told this to my mom, who proceeded to throw her folder at me, papers flying everywhere. “Fine! You deal with your wedding,” she shrieked, which seemed like such a disproportionate reaction to my response, but I recognize that she’d been busting her ass for months to plan this wedding when all I had to do was find a freaking dress, which I didn’t.
