The store started offering bridesmaids gowns under the Tevolio brand last year. Fun fact: Tevolio is styled after the Italian phrase "Ti voglio," which translates to "I love you." This new foray into bridal indicates Target wants to be a one-stop shop for all things wedding - from invitations and thank yous, to decorations and gowns. The dresses are simple, modern and clean - probably well suited for a casual, outdoor affair. If you were considering getting your dress at another retail store, like J.Crew or Ann Taylor (who also have great collections with a similar aesthetic), it may be worth giving these Target gowns a look. -- Olivia Hubert-Allen
