Sizes: XS-XXL | Material: Satin | Length: Floor-length 

If you want the look of a drop waist without getting an actual drop waist gown, this is a fair option. An asymmetrical hem mimics a drop waist design, with a sash that cinches your actual waist. A long train and high slit complete the look.

Sizes: 16-30 | Material: Polyester | Length: Floor-length 

This lace gown is both traditional and more boho-inspired, which is thanks in large part to the detachable sleeves that offer some fun fringe. If you don’t love the sleeves, you can always leave them off and still have a beautiful dress.

Sizes: Small | Material: Suede, crepe, lycra | Length: Floor-length 

Structural and giving off a contemporary feel, this dress is not for the traditional bride. It’s meant to stand out as it features unique cut-outs, a drop waist, and a two-piece silhouette.

Sizes: 0-30 | Material: Chantilly lace, silk chiffon | Length: Floor-length

White might be traditional for a bride, but that doesn’t mean you have to wear it. Do something different in this champagne-colored dress, which is festive and fun, and bound to stand out.

Go for trendy and youthful with this two-piece gown that features a strapless crop top. The skirt is tight around the hips and then flares out to be more full, as bands of organza provide a bridal feel.
