15 Actually Cool Wedding Dresses We Adore

From Bridal Fashion Week

by Irina Grechko

Bridal fashion is not, exactly, known for being.... cool. The strapless princess ballgown is alive and well and not going anywhere. Yet, as more brides-to-be are bucking tradition, embracing less run-of-the-mills gowns and requesting unconventional looks or ones that can be worn again after the big day, more designers are willing to experiment and put out styles like bridal jumpsuits, blazer wedding dresses, and gowns that land a color punch.

Hot off the heels of Bridal Fashion Week’s Spring 2019 collections, we rounded up looks that are as edgy and fashion-forward as they are sophisticated and wedding-appropriate. Ahead, 15 standout dresses that guarantee to turn heads as you make your way down the aisle.
