From floral frills to lightly-hued garments and tons of intricate lace—we’re sharing our favorite weddings dresses from 2018! Fringe was a major player, as were subtle hues—but neither of those come as a big surprise, as we’ve definitely been seeing more and more of those details over the past few years. However, this year, we did notice more brides rocking structured and modern gowns! These gowns were the most pinned, most loved on Instagram, and our overall faves for design, color, and style.
Without further ado, let’s take a gander at all the gowns (in no particular order!):
1. This Floral Dream Which Was Our Most-Pinned Dress of the Year
