While we always have a blast watching hair and makeup artists really push the beauty envelope at New York Fashion Week [1], Bridal Week may secretly be our favorite group of shows. Besides feeding into our guilty pleasure of clandestine wedding planning, the looks are basically guaranteed to be gorgeous — after all, a woman should look like the most beautiful version of herself on the big day. Even if you have no interest in getting married anytime soon (or ever!), you can't deny the captivating elegance of bridal beauty. From flower crowns [2] to bohemian braids [3], here are the dreamiest looks from Fall 2015 Bridal Week [4].
