OK, so now you’ve seen our favorite wedding cakes + bridal bouquets, and even our top real weddings of the 2016. But what about the main event? This year’s bridal gowns were so fun to fawn over because they didn’t all follow a specific trend or theme. In fact, we saw everything from delicate hand-beaded dresses to vintage inspired embroidery to sleek modern gowns in the mix. If 2016 taught us anything it’s that it’s a-ok to go against the grain and make a statement on your wedding day… Even if it means twirling around in a two-piece ensemble a la the look below:

And of course, we had to throw a modern bohemian bridal gown in the mix. We saw every wedding dress style under the sun in 2016, can you even imagine what next year will bring?! Pop in tomorrow for the last of our best-of posts: wedding decor! Spoiler alert, it’s verrrry impressive.
