This brand's Fall 2018 muses were quite unique. "The colors that make up the collection were inspired by the pastel buildings and hollyhocks that lined the narrow cobblestone streets of Ile de Re," an island off the coast of France. Meanwhile, the shapes and accents on the wedding dresses draw inspiration from "a 1920s circus." That means "feathers and shimmering beads," among other details for the "free-spirited bride."

Webb's collection is "a tribute to elevated elegance." "I sought to create gowns that would emphasize a bride's natural beauty, making her, not the gown, the star on her wedding day," Webb shares. She describes the dresses as "refined, modern, and imbued with a timeless sense of polish and sophistication." Shown here is an off-the-shoulder style from the collection.

60 Wedding Dresses with Bows

According to the brand, this gown is called "Pippa" because the label's unique machines produced the lace for Pippa Middleton and Duchess Kate's wedding dresses. If that's any indication of what the new collection will look like, anticipate regal designs. This year, the brand is also increasing its accessibility, producing wedding dresses that are affordable to more brides than ever before. The garments still maintain their high quality, however.

"This collection is a floral affair with a fight of fancy," Paige shares. "The 'Daphne' gown is equal parts bodacious and amorous—an ideal combo for the bride that appreciates a romantic twist, but also loves a dash of 'suave suavecito.'" Yes, we think that was a "Despacito" reference.

The warped embroidery is hand-stitched and inspired by a ride on Space Mountain while listening to 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'" We hope that description excites you as much as it excites us.
