While a wedding should be celebrated for what it represents—a union between two loved ones—oftentimes the focal point rightfully ends up on the bride’s gown. But like the other countless details that go into a wedding, the dress often acts as a microcosm for the wedding in its entirety: for a romantic, dreamy affair, the bride should opt for a flowing Reem Acra gown and a vintage-inspired headpiece. A more classic ceremony? A full silk skirt and pearls will fit the bill. And for a no-frills, City Hall union, opt for a shorter hemline and traditionally chic white gloves. Taxi cab as a getaway car, optional. —Charlotte Steinway
