Wedding Gowns & Bridal Gowns

Among all the dresses at the Golden Globe red carpet, it was Dianna Agron’s Reem Acra dress that struck me the most.

I was not disappointed; her spring/summer collection is just as gorgeous, not to mention that it has one of the broadest selections I’ve ever seen. There are Greek goddess dresses in billowy chiffon, old Hollywood glam dresses with ornate beading, unadorned yet beautifully structured ballgown dresses, and dresses following key 2010 trends (ruffles, tiers, high-low hemlines). A very well-rounded collection all in all. Check out my favorites under the cut!

Last week, I presented a short list of wedding cliches brides are avoiding like the plague. Now that you know what not to do for your wedding, here are some hot new trends you might want to consider using on your big day.

Gloves

This subtle accessory is a great way to add vintage elements to your look. What’s great about gloves is that they’re no longer made in itchy lace or satin (as a child, I wore these white lace gloves when I served as a flower girl – I hated how my hands itched after).
