7 Places Fashionable Brides Actually Shop (And What They Buy)

As a bride-to-be, it’s hard to demonstrate your sartorial prowess when traditional bridal boutiques offer you the same four silhouettes every other bride is also buying.

Here, we round up the online destinations that cater to the fashionable bride who wants to stand out from the pack (and keep wearing her purchases long after the big day).
