Maybe the thought of spending more than one month’s pay on a wedding dress never even occurred to you; or the idea of standing in front of a mirror with two-dozen of your closest friends at Kleinfeld’s makes you break out in hives; or perhaps looking like a cake-topper while you walk down the aisle is your worst nightmare. We get it—so we hunted down 19 simple and elegant wedding dresses sure to delight any modern bride.
Just a few short years ago, finding a sleek and simple wedding dress that was still gorgeous would have required an all-hands-on-deck manhunt and a solid amount of spare time. Nearly every dress in a storied bridal boutique has some sort of detailing to speak of: an inordinate amount of Swarovski crystals, crazy-intricate beading, or a bustle that requires half your extended family to tame.
But if you’d rather leave all those traditional bells and whistles behind, we hear you. Because finding a pared-down wedding gown requires some digging, and we’re guessing that planning an entire wedding might be clogging up your calendar, we found 19 simple—but incredibly memorable—wedding dresses that are anything but plain. Whether you’re looking for an unfussy gown for your beach wedding, trying to find a lace-adorned midi dress to head to city hall, or you’re going all out but still want something clean, these picks will let you feel like you.
