Anne Bowen's bridal collections are always a breath of fresh air because her designs truly embrace a modern bride's aesthetic: one that's elegant yet sexy, timeless yet modern. For Fall 2012, Bowen opened her runway show with this gown, called John F. Kennedy Rosa, which features layers of ombré organza in shades of creme and nude. The strips of raw-edged fabric make the dress feel organic while the silhouette adds sophisticated flair—keeping it from veering too much into boho territory. —Stephanie Davila
