Modern Twist on Wedding Whites
As alternatives to sit down dinners and traditional venues pop up each year, we feel that wedding attire shouldn't be left behind.
If you don't want to stray too far from traditional white, here are a few options we think would be perfect (in style and price) for today's not-so-traditional weddings, or simply as a second dress used at the reception.

Diamond embroidery and brass rivets add weight to a layer of diaphanous cream chiffon, as it evokes the brilliance of a sun-filled room.
