We, Marie Claire, vow that nontraditional wedding styles are a fit for any modern bride, whether you're saying "I do" at the chapel or city hall. Here, from a white hat to something blue heels, everything to wear as you walk down the aisle.
Opposites really do attract. When paired together, black and white separates make for a contemporary-cool spin on formalwear.
