Ready to Party? Funky, Frilly and Flirty Dresses

We literally gasped when we saw this short, party-ready frock from Carmen Marc Valvo (under parent company Designer Bride). It's made out of hundreds of carefully arranged loops of satin ribbon -- so perfect to change into if you want to cut loose at your reception.

This flirty tea-length dress (left) from Novia d'Art (also under Designer Bride), complete with lace illusion neckline and kicky hem, is so ready for a dance party. And can we talk about the ridiculously fun feathered fringe on this beaded dress from Atelier 36?

If it's a party dress you're after, make sure to check out Issue New York. These two reception dresses, a blush pink mini dress with a sweetheart neckline, and a one-shouldered sheath with a pleated accent, could totally be worn on a night out on the town after the wedding.

And finally, what's more "party" than layers and layers of ruffles? These gowns from Lillen Collection take the cake when it comes to celebration-worthy volume.
