If bling is your thing, take your red carpet wedding dress inspiration from Angelina Jolie. Her Versace gown was delicately embellished with pearl beads, which is a bold choice for the By The Sea film premier. Column gowns look perfect on lean brides, and work particularly well on petite ladies by elongating the body, instantly adding height.
