Heavy Metal
If your after-party playlist is more rock ’n roll than indie rock, forgo tulle and lace frocks and instead shine on in a leather (yes, leather) wedding dress a la Kelly Faetanini’s fit-you-like-a-glove genuine leather metallic baroque-print slim gown ($5,575; Kelly Faetanini is sold at Avenía Bridal).

Cut Above
For a fresh, fashion-forward twist on the traditional big-day ensemble, try bridal separates. We love fancy midriff-baring tops paired with full, frothy skirts like Theia’s silver jacquard crop top ($795) over silver lamé and tulle ball-gown skirt ($1,495; Theia is sold at Alta Moda Bridal).
