10 Most Fabulous & Over-the-top Wedding Dresses of 2010

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.

1. Oscar de la Renta

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)

3. Ines Di Santo

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.

5. Douglas Hannant

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

Feeling a little unconventional? Try a twist on the wedding day classic with this jaw-dropper by Romona Keveza.

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.

10. Amsale

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)
