03. Maria M
This next style leaves us captivated in awe. This look is a high fashion bride's dream. Here we have a short light ivory macrame gown, that is sure to turn heads on your big day. But the length of this gown isn't the most dramatic feature. Instead, the long draped oversized sleeves, and watteau train absolutely steal the show. And that isn't even mentioning the Victorian inspired tulle collar!

Ceres is a fiery style in this King Louis XIV inspired line of wedding gowns. We are absolutely in love with this A-line spaghetti strap gown! The sheer corset bodice of this design is breathtaking.
