Ten days after THE WEDDING, the world is starting to settle down, and the hype is starting to pass. But in this post-Wills and Kate world one thing is for certain thedeath grip strappless princess gowns have had on bridal fashion is over, and creativity is finally returning to the world of weddings. No where is the more apparent than in the Spring 2011 Bridal collections where innovation was as frequent as lace trims and trains. Some of our favorite Spring 2011 bridal gowns include:
