Second, she works in fashion, so she is knowledgeable about design and has enviable industry connections. But even with these advantages, she struggled to find a gown that felt one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As she puts it, \u201cI went to all the bridal houses and thought, \u2018Why am I going to buy a dress that someone I went to high school with could be wearing the next weekend?\u2019 I wanted it to feel special.\u201d <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Cole explored other options and even considered having a dress custom made. \u201cI wanted to step away from the wedding-factory experience,\u201d she says. But then, one of Cole\u2019s bridesmaids, Milan-based jewelry designer Bea Bongiasca, emailed her several links to dresses on 1stDibs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One listing instantly captivated her: a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/yves-saint-laurent\/fashion\/\">Saint Laurent<\/a> gown from Paris dealer <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/les-merveilles-de-babellou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Les Merveilles de Babellou<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/hedi-slimane\/fashion\/\">Hedi Slimane<\/a>\u2013designed dress comprises a bustier fully embroidered with glass beads with a large bow in the back and a long, white, silk crepe train. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cole says that before she purchased the gown, she messaged the seller, who responded right away, and they negotiated a bit. And then, in what Cole says was an uncharacteristic move, \u201cI clicked to buy before even sending it to my mom.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-0393-1-634x950.jpg\" alt=\"Bow in the back of a Hedi Slimane\u2013designed Saint Laurent wedding gown\" class=\"wp-image-324446\" style=\"width:476px;height:713px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-0393-1-634x950.jpg 634w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-0393-1-234x350.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-0393-1-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-0393-1-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-0393-1-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-0393-1-623x933.jpg 623w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-0393-1.jpg 1335w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>After purchasing the dress, Cole, who at the time was working as a graphic designer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/oscar-de-la-renta\/\">Oscar de la Renta<\/a>, <br>attempted to figure out the origin of the dress, which she could not find in any recent Saint Laurent runway shows, and she reached out to some of her fashion-industry friends for help. They were able to determine that it is a white version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/margot-robbie-oscar-dress-2014-photos_n_4803551\">black gown that Margot Robbie wore to the 2014 Academy Awards<\/a>, so it\u2019s possible that it was created as another option for the actress.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI felt like it set the tone for the wedding,\u201d she says of the dress. The  celebration, which took place this past June, started with a Jewish ceremony at Pier 40 on the Hudson River. \u201cI scouted the venue when doing the art direction for <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/fashion-news\/shows-reviews\/gallery\/oscar-de-la-renta-pre-fall-11070616\/#!1\/oscar-de-la-renta-pre-fall-2018-2\">Oscar de la Renta\u2019s Pre-Fall 2018 show<\/a>, and it was such a raw space, but I loved that the venue was completely unknown,\u201d Cole says.  \u201cThere was no electricity and there has never been another wedding there.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-1340-950x633.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Cole and Morgan Cole wedding\" class=\"wp-image-324453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-1340-950x633.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-1340-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-1340-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-1340-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-1340-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-1340-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/CappyHotchkiss-1340.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She completed her wedding-day look with a pair of her mother\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/manolo-blahnik\/\">Manolo Blahnik<\/a> heels for the ceremony (her &#8220;something borrowed&#8221; element) and new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/charlotte-olympia\/\">Charlotte Olympia<\/a> shoes for the reception, plus a heart-shaped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/yves-saint-laurent\/fashion\/handbags-purses-bags\/\">Yves Saint Laurent bag<\/a>.
