Gabrielle Union tries on the same gown she would wear months later when she and husband Dwayne Wade said their 'I dos' in August 2014
"Dennis, Jason and I worked together to choose the perfect fabric, silhouettes and finishing details for not just one, but two gowns," Union said in 2014. "The two looks are near opposites and play off one another. Dennis Basso was able to capture both my unassuming and womanly sides through his sketches."Basso told PEOPLE that when the actress came in to brainstorm her dream dress, all ideas went out the window once she began test-driving the gowns in the store.
"Like most brides to be, Gabrielle came in with her stylist Jason Bolden with a clear vision," Basso said at the time. "But everything changed when she tried on gowns! Together [we all] decided that she wanted to be surprising. She came in wanting sexy, and to accentuate her amazing figure, but that evolved."
Unlike most brides, though, Union wanted to be sure to be on the same style level as her super fashion-forward groom. "She talked about Dwayne being so fashionable and really wanting to parallel that with her gown," Basso explained. "We looked at swatches, took measurements, even considered what flowers she would carry. It was an amazing collaboration."
