Our Top 10 Picks for Golden Globe Looks That Are Wedding Aisle Worthy

It's our favorite time of the year...engagement season and award season! The fashion on the red carpet for Sunday nights' Golden Globes did not disappoint! We saw lots of pale pink, green, red, sleeves, one-shoulder styles, sparkle, ruffles, and an overall black tie feel. 


Many of our favorite styles from this years Globes would make unbelievable wedding gowns! Just use a little imagination and picture these stunning silhouettes in white, ivory, blush, or champagne. Or for added drama and uniqueness consider a color for your wedding gown...it's becoming a hot new trend that we'll see more of in 2011.
