Destination Wedding Dresses
Styles of Destination Wedding Dresses You Can Buy Online

By , About.com Guide

Destination wedding dresses are a bit different from wedding dresses worn at hometown events. Typically destination wedding dresses have a smaller silhouette, are packable (or at least can be easily revived once you reach your location), and are fabricated from lighter materials. These are some of the prettiest destination wedding dresses around, and all of them can be ordered directly online.

Betsey Johnson Destination Wedding Dress

If you think destination wedding dresses aren't fun and fanciful, think again. This style from the eternally young designer Betsey Johnson has a strapless bodice that comes up high under the armpits. The full tulle skirt of this destination wedding dress seems made for dancing reminds of the one on the Cinderella Bridal Dress, part of the Disney Wedding Dresses for Destination Brides collection.

Sarong-Style Destination Wedding Dress

I'm pretty sure I saw "Sex in the City's" Sarah Jessica Parker wear a dress very similar to this; the big flower on the shoulder is definitely a Carrie Bradshaw tip-off. Short, bold, and sexy, with a slit up the front and ruching across the body, this is one of those destination wedding dresses that ensures no one's eyes will leave the bride.

Nicole Miller Destination Wedding Dress

Flattering to the figure, this 100% silk destination wedding dress will need to be packed carefully (acres of tissue paper) and steamed when you arrive to get out any wrinkles. Its antique white shade works with many different complexions. The dress has a deep V-neck, a short train, and criss cross straps in the back.

Strapless Destination Wedding Dress

The sweetheart neckline on this destination wedding dress is complemented by a rhinestone detail under the bust. Strapless and with a small train, it's one of those destination wedding dresses designed so the bride won't break a sweat even in the warmest climes.
