It was impossible to choose just one look to feature from the 2015 Carolina Herrera collection, but alas it had to be done, and here is my favorite. The gems on this paper-white gown will glow almost as much as the bride inside of it.

This cream-colored dress, part of Temperley London’s 2015 Iris Collection, perfectly encapsulates a vintage aesthetic while remaining timeless. “Each dress has to be the perfect blend of functionality and fantasy,” said designer Alice Temperley, MBE. “A bride must never feel overwhelmed by her dress but allow [it] to be the ultimate version of [herself].”

French Chantilly lace cascades down this silk organza dress for a modern romantic look. The sheer, high neck offers an alternative to ever-popular strapless gowns.

All-over lace and a sheer back makes this mermaid dress romantic and unforgettable. Pair it with a dragging veil, as seen here, for a look that’s even more striking.

“Carlene” by Pronovias

Two-piece wedding dresses are a recent phenomenon I’ve been a bit skeptical about, but this 3/4 sleeve option shows just a sliver of skin (which is a lot less than some of the other designs in Houghton’s 2015 collection). Plus, the top is embellished with sequins and I’m not one to turn down shiny things.

“Nadja” by Houghton

The full tulle skirt of this strapless embroidered dress, part of La Sposa’s 2015 Glamour Collection, is the softest, subtlest shade of dusty rose. I want to wear it if only to see what it looks like when I spin around as fast as I can.

This fit to flare dress is masked in an overlay of delicate Chantilly lace that wraps around to hug the sheer back.

“Katya” by Kenneth Pool

What a long way Austin Scarlett has come from his corn husk dress days on Project Runway. This breathtaking dress defies today’s standard of strapless, mermaid, and full-skirt gowns with its cowl neck and flutter sleeves.

“Fontaine” by Austin Scarlett

A tasteful front slit combines the elegance of a floor-length gown with the modernity of newer, shorter wedding dress. Pro tip: You might want to skip the garter if you’re going for this style.

“Lea” by Alyne Bridal
