Heavenly Wedding Dress Details

Categories: Bride, Details May 21, 2010 / Danielle Freedman

It is Friday (woohoo!) which means today we focus on the details – my favorite! Ashley from the Chic Line has pulled these incredible images of gowns – so heavenly….

I am loving all the different silhouettes and details of wedding dresses these days. Vera Wang and Watters and Watters are just two designers that I count on for endless offerings of beautiful, design-statement pieces. The luxurious fabrics, raw edges and ruffles of Vera’s collection allow it to stand out from the competition (as always, right?)

I love the Watters gowns because of their diversity in shape and style. From sleek and simple to full and adorned, their collection offers a variety of styles for every taste and budget.
