When it comes to weddings, all brides want the most gorgeous, head-turning, heart-thumping, jaw-dropping wedding gown they can find. That's where this gallery of some rare and outrageous, but also very traditional and whimsical wedding gowns comes in handy.
Some of the wedding dresses are exquisitely royal like the Dylan Lauren wedding photos that even landed on the Vogue cover this year. The photos will keep your eyes wide as you view the sheer elegance of the bridal gowns. There are even some wacky, out-of-the-box wedding dress ideas like dark insectified gowns, vampire wedding gowns and even edible nuptial gowns.
In the midst of these unconventional, yet stunning frocks are those goddess-like gowns that are meant more for the traditional bride. So to all the brides out there, rich or poor, in every health and happiness, these wedding gowns will be your moment to shine.
