Prepare to Hyperventilate Over Ciara's Lace-Up, Bell-Sleeved Wedding Gown

Ciara's no stranger to a glamorous gown: she once sang the national anthem in a caped sheer number and always shows up to events in something fitted and sparkly. So when we heard she said "I do" to her longtime boyfriend, Russell Wilson, who plays for the Seattle Seahawks, we had no doubt her dress would be something special. But even our wildest dreams couldn't have prepared us for the moment she posted a photo to Instagram, putting her totally-on-trend Cavalli Couture design on full display.

There was a front lace-up detail. There were bell sleeves. It was lacy, and gorgeous, and so perfect for her. And now we're sitting here, dreaming about it, for who knows how long?
