Hundreds of gorgeous couples have been featured in Wedding Style to date, and a steady stream of new photos cross our desks every week. When it comes to bridal portraits, it’s impossible to choose an all-time favorite – especially when there’s nothing more beautiful than a genuine smile. But these ten bridal portraits of real Grace Ormonde brides have definitely stood out for reasons ranging from photography quality, to the background. Total #BrideGoals!

Taken during an intimate destination wedding in Venice, Ni’s bridal portrait demonstrates the stunning effect of traditional wedding veils.

2) Tara Juergens, Photography by Elizabeth Messina

As the bride from our 2017 Wedding of the Year, Tara was the epitome of “bride goals.” Every photograph was perfection, and she looked stunning walking down the aisle in a custom Ralph & Russo wedding gown.
