Taylor Swift's latest album has already been marked by many iconic fashion moments, from her custom Schiaparelli gown at the Grammys to her four iconic Vivienne Westwood looks at the Eras tour. This ethereal Besa Riley gown hits the mark on TTPD style with its dramatic side slit, sweeping chapel-length train and corseted bodice with draped details. Take a nod from Tay and pair yours with kitten heels and vintage-inspired accessories for wedding day.

2. Midnights Wedding Dress: Willowby Stars Align Dress

If you're a Midnights girlie like I am, then this dress is going to immediately put you in a lavender haze (I mean, the tulle color is literally called Misty Violet). This frothy V-neck ball gown will have you feeling bejeweled too, it's made with custom shooting star embroidery in either silver or gold with seed beads and clear sequins dusted on top. Simply put, you'll be sparklin'.

3. Evermore Wedding Dress: For Love & Lemons Willow Bridal Gown

Champagne problems? We don't have them. I immediately thought of Willow the moment I laid eyes on this breathtaking dress from For Love & Lemons. (And how fitting is it that it happens to be called the "Willow" gown?) For the whimsical romantics drawn to Evermore, this flowy dress with statement puff sleeves has it all. With its draped cowl neck, tulle shoulder pads and long, flowing train, obsessed is an understatement.

4. Folklore Wedding Dress: BHLDN Valerie Flutter-Sleeve Pleated Satin Wedding Gown

I love the cottagecore aesthetic, and this BHLDN dress is truly a Folklore vibe. The Valerie Gown pairs a plunging neckline with an empire waist, cascading tiers of charmeuse and a stunning open-square back. It's finished with four delicate, satin-covered buttons and incredibly Folklore-coded flutter sleeves. You'll easily put this one on and say it's your favorite.

5. Lover Wedding Dress: Willowby by Watters Hutton Dress

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? Because this Taylor Swift wedding dress was made for the Lover-obsessed bride. This whimsical wedding dress features a deep V-neckline, multi-color pastel illusion tulle and a velvet ribbon at the waist to accentuate your figure. You'll look like you stepped right out of the gorgeous album cover. It also comes in ivory if you're feeling a classic ivory vibe.

Don't blame me for including a black wedding dress in this roundup. It's a must for to-be-weds inspired by the Reputation era. And Fuego by Galia Lahav is end game. It's a sexy and unexpected yet delicate French lace mermaid gown loaded with Flamenco-inspired silk tulle and feathered ruffles. Oh, and don't forget to add-on the cathedral-length veil with black embroidered lace for a dramatic entrance.

When you think of happiness, I hope you think of this wedding dress. Taylor Swift's self-titled album was her debut on the country music scene. And if you're counting down the days until Taylor's Version comes out like I am, then this Martina Liana number is the one for you. It has all the staples of a Debut-worthy moment: a lacey A-line silhouette, delicate detachable cap sleeves and 3D-encrusted floral details. Fully embrace the era with effortless bouncy curls (and a pair of cowboy boots under your dress!) for an all-American girl look.
