Delicate gold illusion boning gives this otherwise modest gown a sexy edge. But it won't be uncomfortable or restricting; the notable details under the bust are simply crafted out of sequins.

A classic strapless ball gown feels all the more special in champagne satin (especially when you add an Angelina Jolie–esque leg slit).

Toeing the line between ’20s art deco and animal stripes, the sequined pattern on this stunner feels incredibly special and wedding-ready no matter the season.

This beauty has a similar silhouette to Meghan Markle’s reception gown, just in a much more festive shade of metallic marigold.

If you’re going to go down the nontraditional path, you might as well go all the way. This tulle frock has major Old Hollywood vibes but with a wonderfully modern edge thanks to the mix of floral and polka-dot prints.

All that intricate beadwork means you can stick with simple glittering stud earrings rather than hunting for wedding jewelry you might not find reason to wear again.

Warning: If your wedding vision board includes images of vintage ballerinas and princess gowns, you might find you don't just want this pretty pink frock, but you absolutely need it.

What starts out as a traditional beaded long-sleeved white wedding dress slowly fades into a dusty rose finish for a perfect mix of old and new.

Many brides describe their wedding as their Cinderella moment, so why not take that idea literally? A fairy tale–approved blue satin ball gown is the ultimate “something blue” to wear for your magical evening.

Speaking of Cinderella-inspired gowns, we're head over glass slippers heels for this shimmering 2020 refresh of the classic Disney dress.

Velvet and ruffles and silk, oh my! We love the idea of wearing this fashion-forward frock for a city hall wedding followed by an intimate dinner party at one of the hottest restaurants in town.

This lilac beauty will look just as stunning with bright floral decor in spring or muted metallics in winter.

Perfect for the bride who's a fan of low-key glamour and who places comfort above all else.

A Grecian goddess silhouette with firework beading that will flatter any and every body type.

With stark black-and-white stripes inspired by Victorian parasols, this heavily embellished tulle gown is the epitome of romance.

You guys, the lace is made up of rows upons rows of delicate latte-hued hearts. *Swoon*

If the one thing you want people to think as you’re walking down the aisle is “What an entrance!!!” then you can’t do better than this effortlessly elegant gown.

A cascading waterfall of beads and sequins gives this dress the illusion of movement, even while you’re exchanging vows. Plus, the mini cape in lieu of traditional sleeves offers a regal pop—and plenty of range for hugging and dancing.

This pink satin frock with an open back and feather-trimmed hem is basically the definition of fun. Oh, and did we mention Chrissy Teigen is a fan of the brand?

While all of your other royally obsessed friends are shopping for lace sleeves, boat necks and high-neck halters, you can stand out from the pack and have your Kate Middleton moment in this gorgeous duchess-approved gown.

From the robin’s-egg blue color to the oversize tropical lace flowers, everything about this wedding gown is a small step away from the traditional, but that’s precisely why we love it.

Look no further for a Morticia Addams–esque flourish. We imagine she likely wore something along the lines of this glimmering black sequin stunner with a sexy leg slit and intricate off-the-shoulder neckline for her own nuptials. It’s dark glamour to a T.

With iridescent sequins, a bustier top and a slim-fit skit, this showstopping dress is not for the faint of heart. But if you’ve always dreamed of looking like a sexy, liquid rainbow, then this should do the trick.

Who says a black dress can’t feel bubbly? Add some tulle ruffles and multicolored floral embellishments and you’ve got yourself a party frock you can wear again and again even after you say “I do.”

Beaded detail at the back gives this gown an extra-special touch, while the ruching along the bodice and through the hips helps accentuate the curves you want to accentuate and diminish the bumps you want to diminish.
