I am uploading a crop that shows the head more closely at an intersection of the rule of thirds.  I cropped out some of the overhead to put more attention on the bride.  I removed the color cast in photoshop, boosted the midrange in curves and levels, and removed 80% of the blue in her dress in hue-sat blue channel.  Show this to other photographers who understand what I did so that you can learn to do this yourself when necessary.  Good luck.

For a less desaturated look than above and if you wanted to keep more of the bridge structure, I cropped less severely, set the grey and white points, using her tiara and her dress where it's on the ground and white. It is, in fact a blue dress, yes? I used Photoshop Elements 6.

...set the grey and white points, using her tiara and her dress where it's on the ground and white.

 

This image is underexposed and the white part on her dress measured RGB 205-208-224.  The sunlight on her dress should measure at least 245-255 and probably closer to RGB 255.  The rest of the white dress should measure around RGB 220 to 240.  I believe the maker of this image will confirm that the bride is wearing a white dress.  Photoshop Elements is just as capable of color correction as the full version of Photoshop and setting white, gray, and black point---but you need to know what to look for and when to use the three points.  Seldom does one use all three points--usually the white point gets the job done by itself.  Tweaking with curves puts the mid-range tones where you want them.
