Judd Waddell A-line/Trumpet Gown

Christina had been to and in many weddings and had a strong sense of the gown she wanted for her own day: a romantic but sexy dress that wasn't a traditional taffeta ballgown. At the same time, Christina knew that she wanted to enjoy the process of looking for a dress; she didn't want to rush it (so smart--this is one item you shouldn't be too eager to cross off the checklist). After trying on gowns from a wide range of designers--from David's to Oscar--she found this lovely Judd Waddell dress. It's a fit-and-flare/trumpet style (though a bit more A-line than some in this category). It features a chapel train, charmeuse sash and crystal brooch, and alternating bands of acelon lace, tulle, and silk. To me, the overall effect is soft, unique and just beautiful.
