20 Bridal Market Wedding Dress Looks That Are Better Than Champagne
Bridal Market is a real thing (no shame), and it's time to take a top-secret midday break — glass of champagne in hand — to shamelessly scroll through these 20 oh-so-gorgeous wedding dresses. Make sure to position yourself far away from any and all commitment-phobic soulmates or judgmental never-getting-married gal pals. Swoon over the detailing, obsess over the tulle, and don't be afraid to daydream a bit: This is a judgment-free zone.

Vera, Vera, Vera! Can she do no wrong? Her entire collection was done up in different shades of pink, with the low-maintenance hair and moody eyeliner serving as reminders that pink plus bows doesn't have to equal frothy.
