A very feminine collection, these bridal gowns feature lots of crystals, beading and ruffles. One of my favorite Michelle Roth gowns was featured in Episode 1 of Season 2 of Say Yes to the Dress.

Dubbed “Marina,” this A-line gown features an strapless top and asymmetrical drop waist. The highlight of this wedding gown to me is definitely the skirt, which features tiers of lace and organza ruffles accented in crystal beading.

If you don’t watch Say Yes to the Dress, you should. If not for the behind the scenes scoop on the bridal industry from Kleinfeld, then definitely just to look at the gorgeous wedding gowns. Say Yes to the Dress airs on TLC on Fridays at 10:00 pm (9:00pm CT).

Michelle Roth Exclusive Collection

If you like a lot beading and other intricate details, this is probably not a good choice for you. However, Vineyard is very elegant and classy. I like the dress around the 9:00 minute mark with the tie in the back.

You can shop the Vineyard Collection at Kleinfeld Bridal and other fine bridal shops.

You will see lots of smooth satin and simple silhouettes that are effortlessly beautiful. Perhaps surprisingly, there a few shorter gowns in the collection.

Are you considering a short wedding dress? Let me know what you think of the collection. I like the short dress at the 1:05 mark, as well as the long gown that comes right after it.

The off-the-shoulder design and sweetheart neckline are beautiful, but what really makes this wedding gown is the beautiful lace. The wedding dress is slim fit though the hips. Then after the satin band, there are tiers or plated tulle and lace that make up the A-line skirt. It’s available in all white as well as a few other nice color combinations.

One thing that I love about this official video is that they give the name of each bridal gown as the model comes down the runway. Oftentimes when checking out runway videos, you don’t know the name of the gowns to look them up later.

Here’s the complete show in two parts:

Personally, I like the tea-length Mimi wedding dress that is about half way through the first part. The skirt is fabulous and I love tea length gowns because they show off your shoes! The whole collection is really pretty.

This short wedding dress (style PL217) features a fantastic feathered skirt that makes it really special. It’s very unique, though not a traditional wedding gown at all.
