Bridal Fashion: The Best in Bling

Simplicity is good – but sometimes, it just isn’t as fun. The wonderful thing about brides (and, of course, human beings in general) is variance: style preferences and tastes change from woman to woman, and none is lesser or greater than another. Some love clean and simple gowns, while others prefer more opulent dresses. For the latter ladies, we invite you to feast your eyes – and your Pinterest boards – on some of our favorite “blinged out” bridal styles.
Incorporating intricate beading and embellishments into an ensemble is no easy feat, and it produces stunning results. Catching the light while wearing one of these dresses will surely wow anyone around you: it’s as if you’ve actually managed to catch rays of light and reflect them off of your bodice and skirt. This kind of frock adds an unmistakable sense of royalty to your big day – if you’ve always envisioned nuptials fit for a princess, this is the design for you!
