City Wedding Dresses For Chic Urban Brides (PHOTOS)

By Kellee Khalil for Lover.ly

It's hard to put your finger on just what separates big-city brides from the rest, but there's a certain sophistication to their wedding looks that is unmistakable. We adore the way they rock (and set!) trends with ease. And from them, we've learned that the perfect wedding dress for a city ceremony somehow manages to be romantic without being twee, glam without being fussy, and edgy without trying too hard. These dresses bring the drama without seeming like it took any effort at all. Here are our favorite wedding dress picks for big-city brides.

• Oh My Goddess

  Appliques -- one of the year's hottest trends -- make this column dress feel very now. <a href="http://lover.ly/explore?q=applique&amp;utm_source=huffpo06-08-13citychic&amp;utm_medium=guest&amp;utm_campaign=huffpo06-08-13citychic" target="_blank">Embroidered wedding gowns we love</a> From <a href="http://r.lover.ly/redir.php/fa.RsTRBVdk_aHR0cDovL3d3dy50ZW1wZXJsZXlsb25kb24uY29tL2JyaWRhbC9CZWF0cmljZSUyMENvbGxlY3Rpb24lMjAxMg==" target="_blank">Temperley London </a> via <a href="http://lover.ly/image/243769" target="_blank">Lover.ly</a>

• Tulle Time

  The asymmetrical spray of tulle at the bust of this blush dress keeps it from feeling too saccharine. <a href="http://lover.ly/explore?q=blush+dress&amp;utm_source=huffpo06-08-13citychic&amp;utm_medium=guest&amp;utm_campaign=huffpo06-08-13citychic" target="_blank">Dozens more beautiful blush dresses</a> Photo by: <a href="http://carol-hannah.com/" target="_blank">Carol Hannah</a> on <a href="http://styleunveiled.com/wedding-blog/carol-hannah-wedding-dresses-2013-part-ii.html" target="_blank">Style Unveiled</a> via <a href="http://lover.ly/image/236033" target="_blank">Lover.ly</a>

• Frill Ride

  The deconstructed illusion neckline gives this ruffled gown a bit of an edge. <a href="http://lover.ly/explore?q=ruffles&amp;utm_source=huffpo06-08-13citychic&amp;utm_medium=guest&amp;utm_campaign=huffpo06-08-13citychic" target="_blank">Rock ruffles on your wedding day</a> Photo by: <a href="http://r.lover.ly/redir.php/stijW3vqvgM_aHR0cDovL3d3dy5qbG1jb3V0dXJlLmNvbS8=" target="_blank">JLM</a> on <a href="http://r.lover.ly/redir.php/.VJ1RAYMPIM_aHR0cDovL2xvdmVyLmx5" target="_blank">Lover.ly</a> via <a href="http://lover.ly/image/324376" target="_blank">Lover.ly</a>

• Off the Chain

  The lattice neckline on this dress has a chain mail vibe but the classic silhouette keeps it feeling delicate. <a href="http://lover.ly/explore?q=sweetheart+neckline&amp;utm_source=huffpo06-08-13citychic&amp;utm_medium=guest&amp;utm_campaign=huffpo06-08-13citychic" target="_blank">Say "I do" in a sweetheart gown</a> Photo by: <a href="http://collettedinnigan.com/" target="_blank">Collette Dinnigan</a> on <a href="http://bridalmusings.com/2012/06/wedding-dress-of-the-week-lattice-pearls-beaded-bodice-gown-by-collette-dinnigan/" target="_blank">Bridal Musings</a> via <a href="http://lover.ly/image/147137" target="_blank">Lover.ly</a>
