Style Rethink (opposite) The high-low hemline makes its way into the bridal world with plenty of sparkle. For the fashionista bride who can't wear the same look for more than a few hours, Reem Acra New York, available at Blush Bridal, offers a combo of wear-asyou-like pieces. The "Touch of Lace" mini dress, seen here with the Reem Acra New York "Drizzle" tulle overskirt, also works as a solo piece. The high-low hemline on the overskirt provides the option for showcasing daring tights and limited-edition shoes. For an understated overstatement, try big and bold pieces under lace: Elsa Corsi's Swarovski three-strand crystal necklace with crystal drop detail under the detailed neckline, paired with Elsa Corsi Swarovski crystal baguette drop earrings and coordinating four-strand Swarovski crystal baguette bracelet, and two-strand baguette and circular Swarovski crystal bracelet (all available at Jeweliette). Davie & Chiyo beaded headband with micro tulle veil, also available at Jeweliette, and "Frosty Lattice" beaded belt available at Frocks Modern Bridesmaids. Aldo "Morejon" grey and silver sparkle studded shoe, available at Aldo stores. Fantasy Dress You don't have to go big to be bold. Jenny Packham's "Eden" gown of champagne beading and gold sequins rivals the grandeur of any traditional dress. Go regal with this look and pair it with a blusher and cathedral veil with French lace detailing and subtle train, both available at Bisou Bridal. Maximalism is the key to this look. Add a Laura Jane Swarovski crystal and beaded headband as a belt (this one from Jeweliette). The Art Deco-inspired Tiffany & Co. "Legacy Collection" open square earrings in platinum with diamonds underscore the other-worldly feel of this gown, and are elegantly paired with a Tiffany & Co. platinum Marquee round diamond cluster bracelet and Tiffany & Co. platinum cushion pink spinel arrow ring.
