Can you guess which of the gorgeous gowns was selected as your favourite 'daily frock' of 2009? The answer surprised me (even though I have to admit it got my vote) as it wasn't the traditional look I expected to see coming out on top.
Read on to see which one won, and if you took part, let me know which one got your vote and why!
Thousands of brides voted in this years Bridal Buyer Awards to pick out their wedding dress of the year; a new category in the prestigious industry awards which took place on Monday. And results are now in!
Scooping the award was US designer Maggie Sottero, whose ivory strapless 'Ireland' dress (pictured) won the most votes. The dress appeared on a shortlist compiled by six of the UK's top fashion editors, and with its elegant empire-line silhouette, it's very much in keeping with the current trend for Grecian styling.
I'm intrigued to know whether Bridalwave readers agree with the thousands who loved this dress, so please let me know what you think! Vote after the jump.
Have you check out our Oscars Wedspiration Gallery yet? If so, you know that the ladies embraced white like no other color on the carpet and in the process fancied themselves a little bit bridal. Which Oscars dress would you wear as your wedding gown? Tell us in the poll below.
It can't have escaped your notice that it was Valentine's Day over the weekend - and I'm guessing that there's a whole host of new brides to be out there! Tell us what happened in the poll below, and I'd love to know all about your romantic (or not!) proposals in the comments section.
It seems like everyone has a wedding show they're obsessed with, and we want to know what's yours. Like comparing yourself favorably (we hope) to the classless nightmares on Bridezillas? Or dreaming about where in the world you'd like to wed with the destination weddings on Married Away?
We want to know which shows you'd be most interested in hearing more about - whether it be liveblogging premieres or special events, or interviewing stars and participants. Let us know! If there are any shows not included in our poll, just leave it in the comments!
I know, I know, two polls in two days. You're getting spoiled. Anyway, I want to ask about your Valentine's Day plans because it's the one day in every year when we go into lovey-dovey overdrive. I can only thank goodness that I work from home rather than having to endure some sort of office one-up-(wo)manship at the size of the bouquet, or, in an office I worked in during university one year - the delivery of a six foot teddy. How she got that home on the bus I really don't know. Anyway, what are your plans for cupid fest?
Traditionally the bride's parents paid for her wedding but we know that certainly isn't always the case anymore. Changing family set-ups, the couple's own earnings and potential power struggles between the cheque-wielder and the couple have all played a part in changing how weddings are financed.
Who's paying for yours? I've left an 'other' slot open if you want to add any other comments.
