Years ago, I fell in love with online shop Bona Drag's studded ballet flats. I've stalked the store's edgy (admittedly not-very-bridal) wares ever since. Now, the new Ceremonial collection, for which Bona Drag has asked a slew of cool designers to create exclusive gowns and rings, may just tempt some ladies who are planning weddings. The bohemian, witchy-woman styles won't appeal to everyone but they certainly speak to me. It's the first time most of these designers are working on bridal, including Mara Hoffman. Previously, Hoffman only made gowns for friends like Pamela Love, whose latticework wedding dress has become the obsession of every bride-to-be that I know.
Check out some of the collection below (be sure to click on the photos to enlarge them) and let me know what you like.
1 Mara Hoffman's black beaded bodice gown.
2 A white lace dress by Australian label Lover.
3 Inverted quartz on Anna Sheffield's Elenore cocktail ring.
4 The pattern on this lace With Hearts In My Eyes ivory gown is actually leopard spots!
5 This Lindsey Thornburg ivory silk heroine gown has a racy, plunging neckline.
6 Jewelry designer Meredith Kahn's bridal collection includes the Delane ring (bottom), with two rose cut diamonds, and the white diamond Love Twist ring (top).

Hi Sara,
No, unfortunately Bona Drag is online-only. I'd suggest checking out their return policy.
Good luck!
