Trendy wedding dresses
When it comes to fashion, sometimes normal and conventional can be pretty boring. This explains why a lot of people often love to go extra with their looks.
Most ladies when preparing for their white wedding ceremony prefer to go for modest looks.
However, there are those who break the rules - in style.
While it is common to see brides keep their legs hidden beneath ball gowns and mermaid dresses, there are those who would rather flaunt them.
