"Today's weddings are all about fun -- unique, different, celebratory" – Editor-in-chief of Brides magazine Millie Bratten
While most brides still want to look like a fairy-tale princess, individuality is more and more the key these days. Designers have caught on to the trend, and this year’s wedding gowns range from the avant garde to the downright bizarre. The spring 2002 collections feature such unique confections as Yves Saint Laurent’s cocoon-like capsule dress and Stella McCartney’s modified trench coat, complete with top hat and slogan emblazoned across the hem. Whether it means being barefoot in a micro-mini-dress or spending top dollar on over-the-top couture, a girl just wants to be herself on her special day.
