In general, I am suspicious of the wedding dress. In the specific case of the wedding dresses shown at the 2017 spring bridal collections, I think I hate them.

A woman who tried to stop TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress from airing her episode before her wedding day won’t get the happy ending she wants.

H&M is dipping its reasonably priced toe into bridal for spring/summer 2016—because who wants to pay $2,000 for a dress you’re only going to wear once and stuff in a closet for the next 20 years? No disrespect if you’ve already been gobbled up by the Bridal Industrial Complex. We’re all friends here.

Martha Stewart, queen of events, appears in tonight’s season 14 premiere of Say Yes to the Dress, offering subtle critique of wedding gowns in the most Martha Stewart way possible.

TLC’s famed wedding show Say Yes to the Dress featured its first transgender bride in an episode that airs tonight.

During the week of her wedding, Kilee Manulak’s fiancé cowardly dumped her through a text message. After a few days of grieving, the Florida woman decided to get rid of her wedding dress in a unique way. She did not sell it on eBay, nor did she fill it up with cockroaches and Fedex it to her ex’s workplace. Instead,…

If you were to ask me about my dress shopping right when I’d started the process, I’d probably gush all over your face about the incredible power of seeing oneself as wholly beautiful for the first time, the unprecedented bonding opportunity between mother and daughter that is picking out the latter’s first-ever…

Over the course of three short days last week, my mother and I went shopping for dresses, both hers and mine. It was my first crack at it, and we trotted around Manhattan and Brooklyn at a fever pitch: five appointments for me, four hours spent looking for a dress for her, and countless moments spent in the throes of…

On Saturday, June 13th, Prince Carl Philip of Sweden will marry Sofia Hellqvist in a lavish ceremony to be remembered for the ages (because if there’s one thing we know about Swedes, it’s that they like to party and also Ace of Base). What better way to celebrate than by looking at the beautiful dresses all of us…

Before I met my fiancé, I believed that true love existed in clothes and not much else. A silk blouse that flowed softly like a nice dinner date, a floral sundress that swung at the hips like the prom dance I never had, a pair of tight little shorts that hugged my butt hot as sex—I hunted these things, but not love.

On the latest episode of HBO’s T&A tour de force Game of Thrones, we once again saw poor Sansa Stark unhappily enter a marriage over which she has zero control, this time to violent psychopath Ramsay Bolton. Bummer, but look at that dress! Perfect for a woodsy winter wedding, no?

We were joined recently by Kpoene’ Kofi-Nicklin, the Creative Director of Mignonette Bridal in Chicago, who agreed to answer all the wedding dress questions our readers could think of.

Far more fun than gawking at the gowns for bridal fashion week is imagining what kind of person would wear them. Shows like Bridezillas and Say Yes to the Dress have magnified our curiosity in bridal archetypes, and the very specific, very crucial ways a bridal gown reflects its wearer. If your personal style is the…

Bridal Fashion Week has just wrapped up and yes, there are trends: cutouts, plunging necklines, crop tops (shudder). Per usual, 99% of the dresses are very prettyprettypretty. Little, however, is unexpected: same gorgeous shit, different season. Enter Houghton’s Spring 2016 collection.

Not too long ago, we delved into the tragicomic stagecraft of purchasing one's wedding dress, an emotional hunt that can potentially drag on for week after angsty week. But for the bride-to-be who's still spelunking through salons to no avail, great news: a "visionary artist and designer and bead sculptor" has created…
