From the first dance to final portraits, this is post-nuptial bliss.

When it comes to the bustle on your wedding dress, it’s up to you (the bride!) to decide how you want it to look. The main two types of wedding gown bustles are American and French. Work with your bridal consultant or seamstress to determine the right look for you—and if you don’t want a bustle, leave the train long. Here, a look at some of our beautiful brides and their wedding gown bustles.
