Your big day has finally arrived – or at the very least, it’s on its way. The day has been selected, the venue has been booked, the invitations have been sent and the caterer chosen. Now, it’s time for the biggest wedding activity of all – selecting the perfect dress!
 
Your wedding dress…how long have you been dreaming about this day? When you’d let yourself in to Monique Lhuillier or Vera Wang, into the doors of David’s Bridal, to try on a frothy confection fit for a queen? This wedding has been a long time coming, and you’ve been planning your dress for as long as you can remember.
 
Some girls don’t dream of their wedding day, but you’re not that type of girl. You’ve been waiting for this day forever; as a child, you played dress up in your mother’s wedding gown in your attic with friends and siblings alike. You’ve tried on gowns with high school acquaintances and college soul mates, but there’s never been a time like this – a time where it’s the real thing. When you’ll be buying the dress in which you’ll walk down the aisle. It’s a big deal, that’s for sure – but there are plenty of spectacular wedding dresses out there, guaranteed to help you look great for a day you’ll never forget.
           
If you’re looking for an absolute show-stopper, look no further than the Vera Wang organza fit and flare gown with a bias flange skirt. Layer upon layer of beautiful organza adorns this incredible gown. This incredible dress is designed with hand-cut bias organza so that each gown boasts a unique, organic look. The flange detail, which you won’t find on just any dress, is dramatic and modern, while the architectural quality of the skirt is balanced by a beautifully draped and shaped strapless bodice. This dress features a modern cathedral-length train and is available in ivory or blush. For the more traditional bride, ivory is the way to go, but for the modern gal who isn’t afraid to stand out, consider this gown in blush – a beautiful dress fit for a queen.
           
If strapless isn’t your style, consider a V neck ball gown with a fully draped skirt. For some women, V neck styles are simply more flattering, and this gown certainly does a variety of figures some favors. A beautiful ball gown with a V neck bodice and a fully draped skirt, this dress features layer upon layer of hand-cut bias organza flanges and swirls of tulle. It’s fit for a fairy tale princess, thanks to a softly-draped neckline and a princess-seam bodice. The hand-tacked floral motif design on the skirt means no two gowns are alike, and this dress is easily dressed up with a horsehair, floral or crystal sash. A cathedral-length train ensures you’ll glide down the aisle like the magical being you are.
           
If you’re looking for something a bit more vintage inspired, consider a strapless lace and tulle slim gown. This breathtaking dress is a masterpiece of lace and tulle, two of the best materials for wedding gown construction. A frothy confection of white, this gown features beaded lace and pleated tiers of tulle, which come together to create a unique look. A slim silhouette flatters a variety of figures, while a chapel train ensures a sincere sense of romance. This gown looks as though it belongs on one of the world’s most famous actresses, or better yet, a modern day princess. If you’re looking for a true showstopper to set you apart from the pack, this dress is it.
           
Will you dare to wear a dress that’s totally over the top? You’re going to love a ball gown with an asymmetrically draped bodice. A strapless taffeta confection with a scooped neckline and a fuller than full ball gown tulle skirt, this dress looks like something straight out of an old-time fairy tale. Designed with over 100 yards of tulle, this gown is classic Vera Wang – a true stunner. Easily personalized with color options, sashes and accessories, we prefer this gown in its simplest form.
 
A cathedral-length train offers romance and style, while the full skirt emanates a sense of royalty. If you’re looking to float down the runway in a gown fit for a princess, this is the gown for you. It’s a modernized version of the dress Cinderella’s fairy godmother conjures up for her when she goes to the ball – a true vision. Heads will turn when you enter the church, and your dress is sure to be remembered for many years to come.
           
If you’re looking for the kind of spectacular wedding dress that will help create a day you’ll never forget, consider the options above. Remember, the best accessory for a wedding gown is the bride’s smile!
