Beaded Wedding Dresses: Show off Some Sparkle
Maybe it’s the winter blahs, but this week I wanted to glitz it up and add a little sparkle to my top picks.
These days beaded wedding dresses aren’t just traditional embellishments. Whether beads are in dramatic patterns for a bold modern look, placed in clusters to draw attention, or (my favorite) interlaced throughout for an all over shimmering, magical look, wedding dresses with beads can be chic and stylish.
This week’s beaded beauties come to us from Sophia Tolli, Maggie Sottero, Jenny Packham and more. Plus, I’ve chosen dresses for every price point, from $350 to $2350.
Serious Sparkle for Under $1000
