Some brides have been planning every detail of their wedding since the ’90s; others are more in it for the registry. But almost everyone can agree that the white dress is crucial — it’s possibly the most important outfit you’ll ever choose, and definitely the most photographed. And like everything else in this world, it’s something you can buy online. Below, 18 dresses that we love for any kind of bride and any kind of ceremony.
