I mean really …

… It's hard to beat the drama of a red wedding dress. Then again, all the shots from Suzanne and Kevin's wedding are pretty dramatic. I especially love this shot of the bride walking in with her father, and this one of the bride & groom kissing. See the whole set. Oh, and even MORE pictures over here.

Oh and PS: best wedding boots evar!!

See more red wedding dresses.

Holy hell — take your time with Pixie Vision Productions' pictures from Atom & Athena's fantastical January 2007 wedding. I love the cutie flower girl, and how mom and dad look so proud, and the total fantasy of the bride's gown. Gorgeousness!

I was browsing around Flickr looking at quirky wedding photos tonight, I think this one is my favorite. I love Aussie Rebecca Mence's outfit, from the tip of her top hat right down to the boots.
