“I could’ve bought any other dress, but of course it’s special to me because my friends made it,” she went on. “I wanted to show in the dresses that I’m very low-key – how simple, I guess, I am as a person. And I wanted to feel as comfortable and light [on my wedding].”

“We didn’t do any beading. It’s the first time that I’m actually making a wedding gown that doesn’t have any embellishments in it,” she added. “I think it speaks a lot about Megan.”

Sason, for her part, said: “There was only one solid requirement [from Megan], which was she has to be able to dance in it. If you know Megan’s personality, she’s very low-maintenance.”

“The fact that she wants to dance in it means there’s that free spirit of Megan there, the fun side. A bit of sexy but not really overdoing it. No fuss,” she ended.
