Bridal style

Whether it's fashions from the runway or for the home, this issue showcases spring's latest styles for every bride and groom. The "Runway Confections" feature breaks color boundaries with lovely blush and golden gowns, features standout florals, low backs and unique pickups, as well as two-in-one frocks that allow brides to switch it up from ceremony to reception.

Get Married's cover story, "Register This" focuses on registry and advice for the modern bride—what she needs and needs to know about her tabletop style.
