That walk down the aisle is likely the most anticipated one of your life! But for these local brides, it was also their most stylish! From ever-classic lace to sophisticated satin to trendy color, so many incredibly beautiful styles were featured on Burgh Brides this past year. If you’re still gown shopping, let your own look be inspired by these (amazingly gorgeous) Pittsburgh wedding dresses!
Brianne
My top pick is none other than Bri, the owner of No. 14 Boutique. Obvi her dress was going to be totally killer. The fashionista chose a jaw-dropping blush pink Anne Barge dress with a mind-blowing bow in the back to wear to her luxurious Pittsburgh Opera wedding. The sweetheart necked beauty came from Anne Gregory for the Bride and I still dream about it.

Ali
When your mom is the owner of Bridal Beginning, it’s pretty much a given that you’re doing to look like a dream on your wedding day. At her Fox Chapel Golf Club wedding, Ali wowed in a Berta gown that featured illusion lace embellished with embroidery and beads. She topped it off with a detachable skirt, looking like a million bucks from head to toe.

Lauren
You can never go wrong with Hayley Paige. Lauren apparently agrees because she chose this beauty from Bridal Beginning. The classic ballgown skirt and intricate lace sleeves was well-suited for her traditional Omni William Penn hotel wedding. A cathedral veil completed her look!

Mallory
Mallory’s wedding at The Pennsylvanian was full of clean lines and chic details. Her sleek Anne Barge trumpet gown that she found at Anne Gregory for the Bride and that was adorned with only a simple bow was the perfect fit. She looked ever the timeless bride in a dress that didn’t take much to be a show-stopper!

Carly
When the inspiration for your Duquesne Power Center wedding is an enchanted forest, only a lace ballgown fit for a princess will do. Carly’s Allure bridal wedding dress from Mary’s Bride and Formal featured spaghetti straps, a bedazzled belt, and stripes of lace on the skirt. It was ethereal and modern all at the same time.

Melissa
Before Meghan Markle wore her simple but stunning Givenchy wedding dress, Melissa rocked a similar look. For her Oglebay Resort wedding, this bride chose a clean V-neck Pronovias dress from B. Loved Bridal Boutique that was adorned only with a little shoulder beading. Completing the look with a cathedral veil, Melissa proved that simple is never boring.

Lindsey
Lindsey’s Allure Bridals dress from Bridal Beginning may have been off the shoulder but her style was totally on point! With delicate lace from head to toe, the sweetheart neck gown was stunning from all angles. The back featured tiered layers of lace that lead to a jaw-dropping train, a nice contrast to her outdoor Seven Springs wedding. I’m pretty sure lace will never go out of style and I’m certainly not mad about it.

Kirsten
To jive with her industrial inspired Heinz History Center wedding, Kirsten accented her Watters ballgown wedding dress with a hard core statement necklace. The Anne Gregory for the Bride gown featured a pleated bodice and a soft skirt with an asymmetrical hem, and the bold beaded jewelry was the perfect finishing touch. I honestly don’t think I could be any more in love with her look!

Steph
Steph and Andy’s Fairmont Pittsburgh Hotel wedding was chic and timeless, as was her wedding dress. The Tara Keely number showcased an intricate lace bodice and long sleeves atop a simple skirt. A sweeping train followed Steph down the aisle as she made one heck of an entrance. YAS QUEEN!

Shelby
When you want your wedding to be a modern fairytale, the answer is Hayley Paige. Shelby was the epitome of a blushing bride when she donned a soft champagne colored dress from Bridal Beginning. The dress – which included oversized sleeves and a strappy back – definitely won over Shelby’s guests at her Twentieth Century wedding. I’m feeling those princess vibes, aren’t you?

Christina
A lavish Hotel Monaco wedding totally calls for something beaded, don’t you think? Christina looked ravishing in her Essense of Australia gown purchased at Bridal Beginning. The trumpet gown included beading at the waist, beaded straps, a keyhole back, and satin covered buttons. If this isn’t bridal goals, I don’t know what is.

Ashley
Hayley Paige strikes again. Ashley donned this Bridal Beginning number that included a 3D lace bodice and criss-cross back at her Phipps Conservatory wedding. The skirt featured layers and layers of fluffy tulle with a wide hem for visual interested. The flowy and airy dress was the perfect compliment to the party’s beach inspired theme.
