The bridal runways have been a bit of a fiesta as of late, as they’ve been positively teeming with a whole new slew of wedding dresses toting a stunning Spanish influence. ¿Por qué? you ask. Well, because the style is simply gorgeous, that’s why! Since the Fall 2016 bridal lines descended upon the runways a year ago, designers have been looking to Spain for inspiration and the too-die-for result is gowns with the added dimension of fantastic fringe, gotta-touch-it texture, and endless sex appeal. ¿Muy caliente, no?

Your hubby-to-be does know how to salsa, right?

So what are you waiting for? ¡Ándale! And add some Spanish spice to your bridal style with these fiesta-worthy frocks.
