Alternative wedding dresses for the fashion forward bride
My photographer friend Gracci (of Poptastic Bride regulars Pelaez Photography) alerted me sometime ago to Net-a-Porter’s Wedding Boutique and their selection of unusual and alternative wedding dress styles. It’s a perfect resource for modern, fashion forward brides who want to wear a striking outfit that will be talked about for days — even weeks — after the wedding. Feast your eyes on these beauties.

As luck would have it, an update from fashion label Marchesa announcing their Resort 2011 Collection came in on Twitter as I was publishing this entry. Marchesa is known for eclectic and high fashion evening wear so you can expect to find gorgeous, edgy dresses in any collection of theirs. Here now are some great finds that I believe can work as alternative bridal wear too:
