After wearing and moving around in a wedding dress from dawn until dusk, what could be better than putting on a posh, sexy and carefree party dress to leave the reception??? Wedding Getaway Dresses were popular in the past and are making a comeback. Instead of looking for a white Getaway Dress, why not add color to match your personality and style like this bride did:

Brides who love the unusual and unique will love Vivienne Westwood . From t shirts, to jewelry, to shoes, Vivienne Westwood’s Designs keep the eyes excited. For example, who would of thought you could shoes with heels out of PVC???

A trend that you will start seeing in the end of 2009 and into 2010 is wedding dresses with belts. While “belts” made with a ribbon and adorned a pretty bow or brooch have been popular in the past (and still will be popular), many more “true belts” with buckles will be seen on dresses in the coming seasons.
I hope you enjoy the selection as much as I do!

J. Crew featured wedding dresses with pockets quite some time ago. While the pockets are not really there for a functional purpose (do you really want your cell phone in your pocket on your wedding day???), I love the chic and stylish feel it gives a bride’s overall look. It also makes for some hot photos! Here are some of my favorite wedding dresses with pockets:

1. Jewel by Priscilla of Boston Style: JL114
2. Silk taffeta Sascha gown by J. Crew
3. Priscilla of Boston Style: 4405
4. Vineyard Collection Style: Karalyn
5. Amsale (style not provided)
6. Jasmine Couture Style: T292

What is your opinion on wedding dresses with pockets? Is it a do? or a don’t?
