Ines Di Santo: Inspired by lush greenery and rolling fields from the world's most breathtaking gardens, the designer accented his gowns with floral headpieces and dramatic trains. "This huge, tulle train would make a statement down the aisle," Rachel says.

Amsale: Amsale sent beautifully simple and classic designs down the runway including this "dreamy, soft vanilla gown," which caught Rachel's attention. They also showed a twist on the popular illusion neckline trend: an illusion back.
