It's no secret we love wedding dresses - but what we may love just as much as the gowns themselves is the opportunity to get to know the people creating them. Here's a sneak peek at the ideas and inspiration behind Justin Alexander head designer Tony Mentel's beautiful dresses, plus his take on true love and the ultimate iconic bride.

And now for the dresses themselves. Each of these beauties is straight from Justin Alexander's newest collection and the dazzling silhouettes and glammed up details are just the thing for modern brides who tend to fall for updated takes on tradition.

The blush-toned ballgown above is the prettiest contemporary hue, while the trumpet-shaped wedding dress below would be perfect for weddings in a number of styles from drama-packed black tie events to retro-inspired celebrations.

Thank you so much for sharing, Tony! We can't wait to see those clean lines, graphic details and the rest of the collection soon!
