Gorgeous Gowns

Choosing a dress is like choosing a man, says Michelle Gunn: “You just know when you’ve found the one.”

At Mrs Bridal, the boutique she co-owns with longtime friend Kelly Power, there’s a frock for every girl. A feathery, sexy, leg flaunting number ($2,100) hangs alongside a demure, bohemian inspired lace gown ($3,235).

Indeed, brides-to-be can expect gorgeous dresses that won’t break the bank. Designers on the roster include Elizabeth Fillmore, Delphine Manivet, Junko Yoshioka and Johnna Ho. The Theia collection (from $850) in particular is couture quality at a palatable price.

Even if you think you know what you want, we suggest trying a few. Your final choice may surprise you. —Athena Tsavliris
