Have you seen the show, "Say Yes To The Dress?" I have watched it several times, and could not have said yes to any of those featured dresses. Not every bride dreams of looking like a princess. That is the last thing on the mind of my own bride to be, "Miss Shop This." Of course, she just wants to look like her best self. If this is the type of bride that you want to be, or perhaps this is your second wedding. this post is for you. Here are some lovely options that aren't too over the top ( well, maybe one is ), princess-like, or too sexy. I think they are just right for a fashion conscious bride, and in some cases,
for the bride on a budget.

The latest Johanna Ortiz x Moda Operandi collab is one gorgeous trunk show of exclusive designs! This gown is so feminine yet very sophisticated. The bow is extraordinary!

A gleaming gown in ecru and gold. The back features an alluring low v-neck. Sophisticated and so right for an elegant bride.
Rachel Zoe
Simple yet it features a bit of panache. It is a real budget buy, and comes in at under $100!

A trunk show that is just very fun. This pink perfection is a standout in ostrich feathers! Why not wear pink?

Beautifully boho and oh so feminine. Pretty for a beach wedding.

What a stunning skirt in the prettiest shades of blue. The look reminds me of a mermaid, making it perfect for a beach ceremony.

I don't know what I like best about this simple but chic gown. Is it the under $100 price tag, the lovely appliques, or elegant embroidery? It is a perfect choice for a destination wedding. Wear it on your special day for a seaside ceremony, at the rehearsal dinner, or for the bridesmaid luncheon. It's so cute.
Plum Pretty Sugar
For brides who just want to have fun! It was featured in Rachel's resort look book. I can see why. Love it!

So this really is a wedding gown. However it looks more like red carpet to me. Not to mention it is over the top fabulous. I just had to include it in this edit. From his Fall collection.
Oscar De La Renta
Crafted in crepe and draped in organza, this is one fancy gown. Loving the color combination of white and peach.

Getting married at City Hall, on a Silversea Cruise, or in Las Vegas? Here's your dress. If you can wear a mini, this is just adorable.
