The best alternative wedding dresses for the non-traditional bride

Here comes the bride all dressed in white, or blue, or pink sequins (why not, right?). It’s your day, baby, rules don’t apply.

For the non-traditional, non-bridal bride, or just someone who, quite frankly isn’t interested in journeying through every bridal store in the city to find “the one” (dress, we mean; we’re assuming you’re here because you’ve found the other one), we have seven alternative bridal looks ready for your big day. You can thank us by tossing the bouquet in our direction, no, seriously…
