Princess Wedding Dresses You'll Want to Live In
There's just something about a ballgown that transports you to a magical land of Swarovski crystals, Italian tulle and rainbows. If you can't imagine getting married in anything other than a voluminous dress that deserves its own hashtag, you're in need of a ballgown.
Ballgown styles can range from crystal-clad glam to ethereal elegance and everywhere in between. When you're shopping for a dress, keep in mind that with everything that goes into making this kind of gown (think: layers of fabric, boning, embellishments) they can be a bit heavy, so make sure you pick a dress you can wear comfortably all night long.
