Ravishing Ruffled Dresses

tiers of joy collageFor the bride who wants to create an impact, ruffles are perfect!  They add drama and lovely movement to any dress. When the ruffles are multi-layered a gorgeous texture is created. Designers from high to low have been presenting dresses with this oh-so-fun trend.
 

Note: when shopping for this trend, make sure there is always a defined waist. Also, best to accompany these high impact dresses with minimal jewelry. Above three of my favorite ruffled dresses from the runways: Martina Liana (martinaliana.com), Reem Acra (reemacra.com) and Christos (christosbridal.com).
