More of the dresses at Indie Wed … we loved the range we saw and while a trip to Chicago to try a dress or two might not be all that practical, we hope these vintage-inspired and fun creations get your imagination working on finding something a little more than ordinary for your own wedding gown, hair and accessories.

I especially like one dress from Dame Couture in which the train is lined with a gorgeous striped fabric that peaks out along the bride’s waist at the back where the train meets the gown in a series of pleats and also when the bride is walking and the fabric billows out behind her. For all the designers who participated in Indie Wed, check their vendor’s page.
