Take a cue from these fashion-forward brides, who made our heads turn when they walked down the aisle. Each embraced a look she always loved, one that fit the setting, the season, and, above all, her style. Whether your bridal look is "new bohemian" or "modern fairy tale," we've selected stunning wedding gowns for you.

Glam Goddess

If you're marrying Grace Kelly's grandson, you need to bring a heaping dose of elegance to the party. So when Italian journalist Beatrice Borromeo wed Pierre Casiraghi, son of Monaco's Princess Caroline, she wore four gowns, including this Grecian A-line by Armani Privé. No matter who your prince is, a flowy, drapey dress is a divine choice.

Up-and-coming ready-to-wear designer Misha Nonoo wove her three favorite laces (Chantilly, Binche, and guipure) into the gown she wore for her Venetian wedding to art dealer Alexander Gilkes. The spectacular celebration, featuring a boat procession on the Grand Canal, called for a dress as sensational as the setting. Mission accomplished: Cascades of lace bring their own romance to any location.
