When Sofia Vergara married Joe Manganiello at The Breakers, Palm Beach in the most anticipated and glamorous celebrity wedding of the year, she surprised everyone by sweeping down the aisle in what appeared to be a ball gown – instead of her signature mermaid silhouette. Her secret? Pairing a sexy, strapless sheath with a voluminous detachable overskirt she could remove after the ceremony.
Customizable features were frequently seen on the runway this fall, with many top designers mixing up their bridal collections via removable sleeves, trains, and more. We narrowed down a range of enchanting options so you can take Sofia’s cue, but match a beautiful two-in-one look to your own personal bridal style. Photo courtesy of Instagram user sofiavergara
