90210 starlet, Shenae Grimes and British model, Josh Beech got married in the last few years. The blushing bride had revealed a photo of her and her hubby sharing a smooch with the caption, “I now pronounce us Mr. and Mrs. Beech! Ahhh!”

While everyone is “ohh-ing” and “ahh-ing” over the couple in love, we’re “ohh-ing and ahh-ing” over her bold statement of a wedding dress! How fantastic does that dress look with her hair in a messy bun and that wild red flower bouquet?! We love her take on the classic and chic, spring bride.

We were not surprised to find out that wedding dress designer extraordinaire, Vera Wang with her fall 2012 wedding collection, was the mastermind behind this gorgeous gown. We’ve found a few more from Vera’s highly acclaimed fall 2012 line of bold and black, statement wedding gowns that we’re falling in love with more and more.

Any of these paired with a bouquet of signature red roses adorned with black and white seashells for our destination brides would make any bride stand out!
