Check out the Vera Wang Spring 2009 Bridal Show. The video is in two parts and shows the whole show. As always with Vera Wang, the dresses are very sophisticated and unique. Some are elaborate and over the top, while others are classy and elegant. Which one is your favorite? I like the bridal gown at the 5:20 mark of part 1 and the one at the 1:27 mark of part 2.

Mon Cheri Bridals offers beautiful bridal gowns without the high-end designer prices. This wedding gown (style #28233 - Yvonne) is one of my favorites. It features a strapless top and an A-line skirt that cascades with tiers of corkscrew ruffles.

The dress includes detachable spaghetti and halter straps, if you are uncomfortable about going completely strapless. You can get this Mon Cheri bridal gown in either white or cream.

I adore this chapel length train. Are you planning on having a train? It’s so much more difficult to walk with a train than without, but it’s also so gorgeous!

I have seen this dress at a variety of bridal shops both online and off. It’s normally priced around $800-$875. This bridal gown is available in sizes 2-20. Check out this and other fabulous and affordable wedding dresses from Mon Cheri Bridals at mcbridals.com.
