Do You Like This Story?

Regardless of what your relationship status is, these beautiful white (and some other rather surprising shades of pink, beige and blue) dresses from Bridal Fashion Week are just so clickable.

Last week New York City played host to Bridal Fashion Week – a new initiative where the fashion industry’s top bridal designers show what’s on offer for anyone getting married in 2013. Just imagine an audience of brides and bridal stylists (yes there is such a thing because some people have enough money to pay people to look for the ‘best’ dress…..imagine it!).

These dresses are pretty much the most beautiful thing since Magic Mike combined Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum on the one cinema screen. :

If a traditional, to-the-floor gown doesn’t tickle your fancy, fear not, ultra-short, flapper-inspired dresses were a big theme on the catwalk. Other talking points from the shows include Vera Wang’s return to an entirely white range (the label has been breaking the mold with coloured dresses for a couple of seasons now which has been a seriously hard sell because hey, brides) and, for better or for worse, many designers replacing airy veils with HUGE headpieces.

Do you have a wedding or special event coming up? We have HEAPS of beautiful dresses on Mamamia Shopping that will suit any budget or occasion.

    Funny that most of those weddings shown they are now all divorced!

      Ha, just thinking that.

      It just kind of re-proves to me that marriage is ridiculous. Shame, because these dresses are bloody fantastic. Maybe I’ll host a white-only partay one day ;D

    I love a lot of the Marchesa ones, very romantic! And I LOVE the big floral headpieces! I can’t imagine having a veil at my wedding but I would love a headpiece like that. Hope they stay in fashion for a few years!

    I’m not sure I fancy any of these dresses because of the painfully thin models who do not look happy. think I prefer wedding dresses modelled on everyday women in their own wedding photos.

    If your looking for a cheaper option, try second hand.

    I have my dress for sale at half price – size 10, strapless fitted lace down to a mermaid skirt.
    I loved it – perfect balance of traditional (lace) with modern (cut), and very elegant!
    Wish I had a reason to wear it again but just takes up too much space in my little closet.

    I don’t understand that picture of Heidi and Seal – are those their real hairstyles at the time? Is this their first wedding or one of their vow renewals?

      That’s a photo from one of their many vow renewals.

    I’m about to get married and am shopping for a dress. Holy s#it they’re expensive! C’mon women. There are people in this world who could eat for a lifetime with the money you spend on a dress (for the day).

    Me: Does this price include [perspective and a reality check?

      Order online and take it to a dressmaker to make small changes and ensure it fits. I’m getting married in December and spent $160 on my dress online & $200 at the dressmaker. I LOVE my dress!!

      Me too – I love the sleeves. Number 25 is really nice too.

    My wedding is in less than a month! And I’ve come to the realisation that I don’t really like my dress!
    Sorry to hijack the topic!

    Can any help?!

      What it is you don’t like about it? Can you change something simple? i.e.: strapless gown – add straps?
      Google ‘i dont like my wedding dress’ and see what comes up…
      All the best for your big day :)
