Best Wedding Dresses of 2018

Best of 2018: Wedding Dress Style

2018 really brought the best when it came to aisle style, and of the many Real Weddings and Styled Shoots we featured throughout the year, there were so many incredible dress looks that caught our eye. From two piece gowns with modern silhouettes and dresses with colorful details to timeless styles, brides were drawn to attire that showed off their individual personalities. Although it’s always tough to narrow it down, these 11 looks were some of our favorites that we featured in 2018, and they already have us excited to see what soonlyweds will wear next year!
