The a/w 2014 catwalks were awash with ready-to-wear dresses that would happily do double-duty for W-day.
From modern, mid-length sheaths to the elaborate gowns of bridal big-shots like Vera Wang, Jenny Packham and Marchesa, there's a lot here to love...
Jenny Packham a/w 2014
This simple silhouette balances the intricate working of its crystal embellishment.
Chalayan a/w 2014
What avant-garde-loving bride wouldn’t want a dress that looks like it's made of petals peeling away from the body?
Oscar de la Renta, a/w 2014
This soft pink confection with gold glitter bows is a real statement piece. (Not that we’d expect any less from OdlR.)
Oscar de la Renta a/w 2014
We love the daring silvery blue tone of this strapless sheath – and how’s that built-in train for additional wow-factor?
Derek Lam a/w 2014
This simple silk slip is deceptively flattering, thanks to the way the hardwear detailing contours the body.
DSquared2 a/w 2014
A desperately romantic offering from Dean and Dan Caten. The high feather neckline on this simple silk sheath adds a note of vintage decadence.
Elie Saab a/w 2014
The trend for pink shows no sign of abating. Elie Saab opts for a soft salmon shade with a billowy skirt and velvet trim.
Carolina Herrera a/w 2014
The black belt detail on this straight-cut Carolina Herrera dress makes it look instantly modern.
Honor a/w 2014
There was bridal inspiration in spades at Honor. This unstructured gown with statement sleeves is a great option for a church wedding.
Honor a/w 2014
Two birds, one stone: wear your something blue in couture-like corsages.
J.Mendel a/w 2014
Asymmetric, off-white and off-the-floor, this is a super-pretty option for non-traditional brides.
J.Mendel a/w 2014
Did we mention black accents are a key bridal trend?
Lela Rose a/w 2014
The feather and pearl-play across the bust adds a note restrained luxury to this simple silk sheath.
Monique Lhuillier a/w 2014
A raised front hem is the perfect folly for showing off a new pair of designer shoes.
Monique Lhuillier a/w 2014
We love the way this looks like a traditional white dress escaping from the bottom of a cooler, more contemporary cocktail style.
Julien Macdonald a/w 2014
If glamour is your thing, it doesn't come much more full-blown than in Julien Macdonald's liquid silver gown.
Marchesa a/w 2014
Craft meets Couture. Look closely, and you'll see those cut-out flower shapes are encrusted with pearls.
Marchesa a/w 2014
In a season where full skirts were a rare sight on the catwalk, Marchesa's confection of romantic lace, defined waist and tiered ruffles was a showstopper.
Alexander McQueen a/w 2014
Sarah Burton's gothic Beauty – of Beauty & The Beast – is the very definition of old-world romance.
