Aisle Style: Sparkly Wedding Dresses

Some brides prefer gowns of simple satin. Others love organza, tulle or perhaps lots and lots of lace. However lovely, bling isn't just for rings and other baubles. Many brides today are choosing to be dazzle her groom and guests with wedding dress bling.

Reem Acra

This warm, vintage gold lace dress is in a modern and incredibly flattering fit and flare silhouette. A sweetheart neckline is complimented by a gold satin belt raised above the natural waistline.

Alice + Olivia

This whimsical sparkling ball gown by Alice + Olivia is perfect for the modern bride. A silver sequined bodice cascades down the tulle skirt, which hits just at the ankle (all the better to show off a pair of killer designer wedding shoes).

Rebecca Taylor

The simplicity of the cream, silk georgette column gown is set off by geometric accents of metallic sequins on this dress. We love the nod to Art Deco design, the gathering in the bodice, and the stark beauty of this wedding dress - almost as much as the fantastic price.
