Gowns That Glitter
Take the spotlight in a glamorous gown that shimmers and shines like a winter day
'Tis the season to sparkle, so turn up the wattage with a glittering gown that takes a cue from the elements of winter. From beading that twinkles like snowflakes to embroidery that glistens like ice, bedazzling details take radiance to new heights on these delicious dresses. The best part? An ultracool wedding day look lets everyone know it's your turn to shine. —Kathryn Papanek
