Let's be honest. As much as weddings are about selecting the perfect venue, pouring top-shelf champagne and organizing a steady stream of pigs-in-a-blanket hors d'oeuvres, we here at Chatteberries know that a bride's walk down the aisle in her dream wedding dress may just take the cake -- a five-tiered, fondant-frosted wedding cake, that is. Here, to make your bridal shopping experience as painless as possible, our picks (and gallery) of the 10 most fabulous and over-the-top wedding dresses of 2010.
This ladylike dress pays homage to days gone by. Featured in Oscar de la Renta's spring 2010 collection, this timeless silk taffeta and tulle-embroidered v-neck gown with ruffle train is a standout for any setting. ($9,950; Oscardelarenta.com)
2. Jenny Yoo This simply elegant dress conjures up images of a casual, destination beach wedding. Featured in Jenny Yoo's fall 2010 collection, this delightful gown has a long, trumpet silhouette with a pleated, sweetheart strapless bodice and a back that features a train long enough to bustle. ($1,195; JennyYoo.com) This glamorous silver lamé A-line gown features a sweetheart neckline, beaded bodice and a ruched silhouette. With intricate details like beaded appliqué at the left hip and slight pickups throughout the skirt, it's no wonder this dress is a darling of the jet set. (9,000; 866.899.INES begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 866.899.INES end_of_the_skype_highlighting) Aptly named Sunday Rose, this stunner is nothing less than perfection. Featured in Monique Lhuillier's spring 2010 collection, this ivory silk, satin organza strapless gown with a pleated bodice and rose embroidered A-line skirt provides the maximum "wow" factor for your special day. ($9,500; Moniquelhuillier.com) This ethereal gown floated down the runways of Douglas Hannant's fall 2010 collection and caused quite a stir. Featuring wispy layers of tulle and an elongated bodice, this ruched gown would make an angel of any bri de. ($3,300; Douglashannant.com) 6. J. Crew This limited edition strapless confetti dress is sprinkled with tier upon tier of delicately embroidered disks-falling just like confetti. The dress is comprised of Irish linen with a tulle overlay, embroidered fringe detail and scalloped edge, perfect for a preppy garden wedding. ($995; JCrew.com) Feeling a little unconventional? Try a twist on the wedding day classic with this jaw-dropper by Romona Keveza. Featured in the fall 2010 collection, this hot number has a draped sweetheart neckline made out of silk organza and a bell-shaped skirt made of silk organza petals. ($3,200; RomonaKeveza.com) 8. Vera Wang The queen of wedding wear, Vera Wang, does it again with this glamorous, strapless gown from her spring 2010 collection. A virtual sea of watercolor tulle, tissue organza, chiffon and charmeuse, this piece of art features vintage crystal beadwork at the bust. ($4,600 - $7,990; Verawang.com) 9. Lazaro This elegant silk shantung gown from Lazaro's spring 2010 collection is highlighted by a daring ballerina sweetheart bodice and a ruched cumberbund with a vintage freshwater pearl brooch. The full, gathered skirt is accented with silk flowers at the back and a chapel train, perfect for a long walk down the aisle. ($2,541; jlmcouture.com) 10. Amsale
4. Monique Lhuillier
This ball gown stunner from Amsale's spring 2010 collection features silk taffeta with a ruched bodice and soft, gathered skirt. The real draw of this dress, however, is the dramatic over-the-top ruffle halter. ($4,100; Amsale.com)
