Modern Wedding Dresses

Pearls are the latest bridal trend to sweep the wedding sphere—we're seeing them everywhere, from big-day barrettes and button-down backs to veils. This option by Alyssa Kristin was composed of a simple, traditional base (a stretch of tulle!), but accented with the modern pearls. #weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

We're not sure what we love most about this dynamic chapel-length veil: It's romantic 3D dahlia appliqués, it's bow-tied edges, or the romantic vine motif embroidered around the edges. The accessory perfectly complemented the bride's lace Claire Pettibone wedding dress. #weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

If you're searching for a veil with a touch of color, bookmark this slate Monique Lhuillier option. Bordered with a stretch of blue-gray lace, the veil brought a unique edge to the bride's ensemble—as did her fall-ready flower crown by Andi Jamison for Bows and Arrows, which was styled by Stefanie Miles. #weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

Here's another star-themed option that might appeal to edgier brides. In addition to multi-sized celestial appliqués, this Rue De Seine veil also featured bold metallic studs. #weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

Believe it or not, the flowers atop and throughout this elongated headpiece are fresh—the florist pinned verdant flowers in a cascade down the veil and finished off the bride's look with a flower crown trailing cherry blossoms. #weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

This classic veil option might be known as the bird cage, but this Butterfly Story veil is all about the butterflies. The colorful little creatures looked incredibly life-like; positioned on top of the veil and embedded into the bride's romantic updo, the critters appeared to be resting gently on the bride-to-be. #weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

If your destination big day features a breathtaking backdrop, don't distract from the view with an over-the-top wedding dress. We love how this bride's simple sheath Sarah Seven gown didn't take away from the mountain landscape. She also wore a capelet, which kept her warm and billowed prettily in the breeze. #Wedding #WeddingDress #Dresses #DestinationWedding #WeddingDresses #WeddingIdeas #Fashion #Style #Unique #WeddingStyle | Martha Stewart Weddings
