Alternative Wedding Dresses - a few of my favourites

Finding alternative wedding dresses and alternative wedding jewelry can be hard. There is so much of the "other" to wade through that it can be a lot of work finding something truly unique. I thought I would share with you some of my favourite alternative wedding dresses of the moment. Enjoy!

I am actually in love with her whole collection, it was very hard to pick a favourite.

This dress is from the 2010 bridal collection of Alabama Chanin. Each of their pieces is made by hand, using a combination of new, organic, and recycled materials. The hand detailing on this dress is incredibly intricate and unusual.

  1. I love the last dress here. It is absolutely beautiful! I have chosen to go with a locally made custom dress for my wedding - it just makes sense for me. Alabama Chanin has a beautiful eye!
