Canadian Style Wedding Gowns!

Simplicity commands the current trend in Canadian style bridal attire.

No fussy frills are needed for these modest Brides. Casual, clean and comfortable bridal gowns leave all the hassle behind.

Also, simple wedding dresses allow for more emphasis to be on the Bride’s beauty, rather than the attention going all to the gown.

Here are several simply stunning Canadian Style Wedding Dresses

This v-neck gown has a full length crinkle chiffon fabric with a flowy flyaway skirt and a beaded medallion on the waistband, giving it an elegant focal point.

London Style Wedding Dresses!

London style bridal gowns predominately have sheath and A-line silhouettes.

London fashion is known for being classic and chic, which compliments sheath and A-line bridal gowns ravishingly.

A sheath dress will be clingy from the shoulder (or bust, if you’re going strapless) to hem, with no flaring out. It looks like an evening gown that hugs your body. So, if you’re a confident Bride, work it girl!

A-line silhouettes are fitted through the bodice and flare out at the waist. This shape is universally flattering so no matter your shape or size, you will be dashing!

Check out a few of these jolly good London style wedding dresses

Every region has a distinct bridal style, ranging from demure to dramatic.

Romance and vintage-inspired fashions dominate the current bridal gown trends in Chicago.

Happily Ever After Bridal Dresses!



A ball gown wedding dress is the most formal gown a Bride can wear and it’s the closest to a princess many Brides will ever get. The ball gown silhouette has a fitted waist with a full, flared skirt. This style is best suited for formal weddings.

Fairy tale themed weddings are a big trend right now! Imagine pastel colors, carriages, big ball gown bridal dresses and sparkles...everywhere! Little girls’ dreams are coming true all over the place!


Alright, why are many Brides obsessed with having a fairy tale wedding? I blame growing up with Walt Disney Princess movies. It’s no mystery why so many of us have waited for our Prince Charming to whisk us off to our happily ever after, adorable talking animals, singing serving ware and all.


So, be a real Princess for the day and try on as many bridal ball gowns as your heart desires!
