Fancy getting married wearing a silk jumpsuit? Or a minidress? Perhaps you'd prefer an '80s-inspired two-in-one look with lace leggings and an overlay? Maybe you're thinking you'd like a red or black gown rather than the traditional white? Whatever nontraditional look you crave, the catwalks of Bridal Fashion Week for Autumn/Winter 2016 had plenty of unexpected bridal looks to offer. High-low hemlines, layered designs, and shorter hemlines were never in short supply, while unusual details, cutouts, panels, and embellishments added a modern, edgy twist to otherwise classic shapes. From Houghton's breezy approach to bridal to more adventurous (but still pretty) offerings from Monique Lhuillier, these are the statement-making bridal looks that are about as far from the traditional princess dress as you're ever going to get.
