If the mere whisper of the words “wedding” and “dress” sends you into hiding, then perhaps it’s time to consider an alternative approach.
For many, a wedding dress wishlist evokes dreamy visions of silky, lacy, and beaded white gowns. But that’s not the case for all and luckily for the latter, there are some fantastic alternative wedding options available.
From pant suits, to wedding separates, to colored wedding dresses, there’s an alternative wedding dress out there just waiting for its nontraditional bride!
