18 Ruffled Wedding Gowns

You may have thought ruffles died in the 80's along with big hair and puff sleeves - but modern day bridal fashion had something to say about that...

Loud, textured, voluminous ruffles are making a big comeback in fashion - and we are seeing them everywhere on the bridal scene. But ruffles don't have to be over the top and loud. They can be clean, modern accents that are stunning on even the most contemporary of brides. So if you are brave enough to give ruffles a second glance, then take a look at our favorite contemporary ruffled wedding gowns.
