Trendy Wedding Dresses

Now a days there is so much more to choose from out there... its not just David's Bridal or high end boutiques to find the "right" dress. Every store/designer is jumping on this new trend and not only are they really amazing but most of them are affordable! If you don't see what you are looking for then there are places that offer custom dresses and even rentals. (keep reading below) 
You can't go wrong with any of these!

"I've learned that a wedding dress represents more than just "a dress". It embodies a bride's lifelong dream and her own sense of who she is." - Vera Wang

White by Vera Wang is now sold at David's Bridal stores. Hand cut details adorn these dresses with lace, crispy organza, crinkle chiffon and bobbin net. Gowns in the Spring 2011 collection range from $600 to $1,400.
