WEDDING LOCALE: A church in Hackensack, NJ
FASHION ICONS: Sarah Jessica Parker ("She takes style risks, but she always looks understatedly sexy") and Beyoncé ("I love when she goes all-out glamorous").

STYLE CONCERNS: The petite bride (Marisa's just 5'2") wanted to find a gown that would make her look elegant and flatter her hourglass figure without swallowing up her small frame.

Marisa swears by dark bootleg jeans, which elongate her legs.
