However, we suggest our strapless mermaid gown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/rebecca-ingram\/patsy\/11262\">Patsy<\/a> by Rebecca Ingram instead!<\/p>\n<p>Favorite part about the dress: “I loved the drama of the dress. The large flower detail, the fitted structure and the bead work was simply stunning.”<\/p>\n<p>Favorite wedding day moment: \u201cMy favorite wedding day moment was simply holding on to my daddy’s arm as he walked me to the man that promised to love me for the rest of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advice to future brides: \u201cMy advice to future brides is to simply enjoy the moment because it will fly by!
