Indulge in flights of fancy with the Azalea gown (Above) and white ostrich feather overskirt by Monique Lhuillier that exudes elaborate opulence. The jaw-dropping creation explores the allure of a nude and white color palette manifested in Chantilly lace and re-embroidered applique while the racer illusion neckline provides a sensual, decorative edge.

You’ve never seen this side of taffeta before. Amsale’s Linden gown features a slim, strapless silhouette manifested in romantic, corded lace all topped off with that wow-worthy taffeta overskirt. Once the silk ribbon sash is untied and the majestic skirt removed, the streamlined gown remains a study in sophisticated charm.

Amsale also offers another variation on the trend in the Darcy crystal-white dress that is positively pristine. The silken fit-to-flare gown’s simple V-neckline and spaghetti straps is both delicate and feminine while the extra dose of enchantment arrives in the detachable tulle skirt with a ribbon sash.

Both dreamy and demure, Monique Lhuillier’s Fall 2016 Langham gown will have you floating down the aisle in a flurry of tulle and shine. A perfect way to sidestep the traditional white color palette, the soft rose-gold sheath gown shimmers with all-over embellishment. Once the overskirt is removed, the sculpted bodice and illusion sleeves duly impress with an aura of vintage-inspired glamour.
