Your wedding destination could be as close as the park down the street or half way across the world. Wherever you pick for your backdrop, finding the gown to compliment is part of the fun. In the header photos a silk chiffon and Chantilly lace dress with a full skirt is the perfect match for a villa on the sea. Above a fitted silk taffeta sheath and organza train pair up for a country-inspired wedding . . .

Classic Grace Kelly chic goes just about anywhere including this vineyard-like setting
