When you're looking for a wedding gown, it can help if you look in unusual places. Forget squeezing yourself into your "corseted up to there" dress. Laugh in the face of awkward hems, too-tight boning, and unflattering skirt lengths and instead mix-and-match your bridal wear for a look that's slightly retro and very unique.
