Rivini

mwd103496_wi08_rivini.jpg

A wedding dress will always make a big statement, but sometimes it's by way of mere wisps of detail: dainty pleating, a smattering of glittery embroidered stars, a tulle overlay as soft as mist. Pick one of these styles, and you'll wow with a whisper. #25, $3,795, www.rivini.com.

Monique Lhuillier

mwd103496_wi08_monique.jpg

Strapless gowns have become such a mainstay that it's nice to see some fresh alternatives to the shoulder-baring look. And the newest cover-ups are far from frowsy. Whether classic or minimally modern, a bolero or a full-length coat, these extras add style as well as practicality. We think you'll warm to them. Gown, $3,850, and jacket, $7,700, www.moniquelhuillier.com.

Priscilla of Boston

mwd103496_wi08_pris.jpg

If you thought bows as decorative details were just for little girls in party dresses, check out these pretty fillips. Of pin-neat ribbon, sumptuous satin, or poufs of organza, they may be feminine, but they're also utterly sophisticated, particularly on an otherwise unfussy gown. With a bow on top? You bet. #4009, $4,200, www.priscillaofboston.com.
