Mowry commissioned red carpet darling Kevan Hall to create her flowing, one-shoulder wedding dress. "He’s the perfect person to work with a bride," Mowry says of the designer’s "calm, cool and collected" disposition. For her four bridesmaids, Mowry chose custom antique rose silk chiffon cocktail length dresses by Tadashi. Her twin sister and maid of honor, Tamera, wore a vibrant aubergine silk chiffon strapless style, also by Tadashi.

The Couple

The bride’s favorite memory of her big day was the most dramatic one: walking down the aisle to stand beside her husband-to-be. Serenaded by Kenny Lattimore who sang “For You,” Mowry describes feeling “an amazing rush because it’s the first time you get to see everything, the first time you’re wearing your dress, and it’s the first time he sees you in your dress!”
