Wedding movies are one of the best places to find wedding dress inspirations (or your actual wedding dress, if you can afford it). Plus I’m a sucker for chick flicks and I’m totally not embarrassed about it. They’re cheesy, you can usually guess the plot before it happens (or the trailer basically tells you everything these days), and they’re stories are never really in line with reality. But I love them and fully defend it.

In 27 Dresses, Jane’s sister’s wedding dress is ideal for anyone looking for a poofy dress. It’s big on the bottom yet remains understated by keeping the glitz and glam in the smaller details. The top is cut in such a flattering way, and I love how the back dips down. Also, that tiny detail of lace in the front and buttons in the back make it perfect. Little details like that always get me. And I know that in real life, Tess’s dress wasn’t actually pieces of her mother’s old wedding dress (it was designed and mass produced by Amsale) but I love the idea of incorporating your mother’s dress into the details of yours.
