These bridal gowns are icing on the cake [SLIDESHOW]
Israeli wedding dresses typically run the gamut from over-the-top ballroom showstoppers to gracefully minimalist renditions. While these three prominent Israeli designers showcase very different trends, they all appeal to the masses with their signature styles. From Victor Bellaishs specialty boho-centric creations to Lihi Hods extra-romantic sheaths and Hila Gaons streamlined, modern garments, Israeli wedding design is inspired by the past and the present, by the local market and European craftsmanship but, most significantly, by the brides themselves. With that said, expect some inventive and sassy designs (truly sabra). And take note, most Israeli wedding dress designers rent their dresses out per occasion (although there is always the option to buy, as is the custom in the United States and Europe).
