The Dress

No ordinary white gown will do for a rock and roll bride. Like Gwen Stefani's dip-dye Dior, you air on the side of drama with painterly techniques and unexpected hues. This bride's brand of "edgy glamour" doesn't stop at the dress! "Think: a white gown mixed with spiked Louboutins," suggests Larson.

Oversize arrangements have their place, but if that's not your style, "go for handheld, stemless, maybe even a pomander," recommends Larson. Stefani held her petite flowers in the palm of her hand and later got the party started with lavish red roses and exotic bamboo.

Talk about a true princess moment! Kate Middleton fufilled many a young girl's fantasy in her graceful Alexander McQueen. "There's a certain understated elegance that never goes out of style," Larson notes. In addition to the requisite lace and customary color, for these brides, "A cathedral veil is a must!"

Can you say boho-chic? Kate Moss did when she tied the knot in a custom John Galliano design during a ceremony that kicked off her reception dubbed "Moss-stock." A three-day festival may be out of the question, but Larson says brides can achieve Moss's free-spirited feel with an ethereal, layered gown.

To recreate a boho-chic aesthetic, Larson suggests telling your florist you're looking for a "wild, organic bouquet looked fresh-picked from the garden." A perfect fit for Moss's charming, rustic affair, the bride's mix of textures-including daisies and roses-was as earthy as the event.

A barefooted, beachy bride is a sure sign that the wedding's a romantic one—just ask Megan Fox. The actress escaped to Hawaii in Armani Prive's "easy, breezy and ethereal dress," describes Larson.

Fox's "bouquet of fragrant, exotic blooms" was as tropical as the destination. The arrangement of native blossoms and pretty roses was designed in a neutral, sand hue to complement the beach setting.
