There is a certain beauty in simplicity..

With so many weddings and bridal dresses overdone in ornate designs and elaborate decorations, you may wish to breathe a breath of fresh air by celebrating your wedding in simple fashion.

Choosing to wear a modern, simple wedding gown is a great choice for the bride who wants to portray an image of simple elegance on her wedding day. If you aren’t one for a lot of fuss and don’t like a lot of glitzy embellishments, a simple gown might be right for you.

A Simple Wedding Dress

Choosing a simple wedding dress will let your natural beauty shine through!

If you don’t like being the center of attention, or aren’t comfortable wearing a complex ball gown, donning a simple gown can be the most beautiful – and simple – choice you make!

A simple wedding dress can be elegant, stylish, modern, and stunning. A simple dress need not be a plain dress – simple elements like an organza overlay on top of a simple silk satin gown can add a sense of fashion to an otherwise basic dress.

Look for timeless styles like drop waists, spaghetti straps or strapless necklines. A simple wedding gown will usually have little or no train, and will evoke memories of brides from simpler times. Look for fine details such as luxurious material, covered buttons, hidden zippers, and clean lines.

Cost Effective

Choosing to wear a simple silhouette on your wedding day can not only be an elegant choice, but a cost effective one as well!

Saying goodbye to intricate embroidery, detailed beading, and fancy structuring can be one way to cut back on your wedding expenses, while still wearing a gorgeous dress you love. This type of wedding dress often costs less because it doesn't have as many details and fabric; and are less time consuming to make. You might even find an appropriate gown at a non-bridal store.

Formal or Informal

Choosing a simple wedding gown does not necessarily mean you have to wear an informal wedding gown. Simple cuts can be classic, free of clutter, and striking. For a more formal look, choose a gown that is made of a luxurious fabric, like satin or silk. Choosing a sculptural gown can add a modern edge to an otherwise simple wedding dress. Wearing a simple dress allows you to focus more on your accessories, if you choose. An elegant strand of pearls will look beautiful and really stand out.

If you want to go for a more casual look, your simple wedding dress can be made of an unfussy material. Consider choosing a dress made of cotton eyelet, or hemp. This would be ideal for anoutdoor wedding.

Simply Spectacular

You may love the classic element of a simple dress, but wish to add something to it to make it a little more unique..

Consider an open back, where from the front your dress looks simple and classic, but from the back you show the elegant arch of your spine. Or add one accessory to make a statement – a simple wedding gown with a beautiful brooch, or a colorful sash can make a bold statement. An appliquéd veil or a pair of silver shoes will add flare to the simple backdrop of your dress.

Simple Theme Wedding

You can carry the simplicity that your dress offers into other elements of your day as well. Consider having the quote (from songstress Jewel) on your invitations: “What’s simple is true...I love you.” Impress guests with a sophisticated but basic white wedding cake, and keep things low-key and classic. The love you have for each other will shine through – it’s that simple!
