Bridal Inspiration: White Gowns So Pretty You May Want To Get Married
I’ll Have What She’s Having: White gowns so lovely that you don’t need to look at bridal magazines for inspiration when you can be inspired by right off the red carpet!
Let’s face it, a wedding dress is a dress that you get married wearing.It has NOTHING to do with what department the dress came from (mine was vintage and simply ivory) and EVERYTHING to do with what you feel pretty in and will want to look at for decades to come in photographs.
So, think out of the bridal box!

It’s white night on the red carpet as of late as white is one of the trending colors of the season.
The carpet, particularly at Cannes last week, is the PERFECT spot to look for bridal inspiration. Take a peek at Diane Kruger, Audrey Tautou, Liya Kebede in the most divine Roberto Cavallli tux, Berenice Bejo, Michelle Rodriquez, and Andie MacDowell pictured above and you will see what I mean when it comes to alternative wedding gowns.

What really takes a white, ivory, cream, peach, or whatever color from red carpet to walking down the aisle is more about how you style it and how YOU see it. Add a headpiece, soft jewelry, a bouquet and you are good to go.
