12 Stunning Minimalist Wedding Dresses
We hear “less is more” pretty often, and when it comes to wedding dresses, sometimes the ol’ saying could not be truer. If you’re not feeling puffy gowns, heavy beading or ornate French lace, a break from the “more is more” motto can be a breath of fresh air. From an understated silk slip to a Solange-inspired jumpsuit, these subtle and elegant dresses are perfect for the minimalist and fashion-forward bride-to-be.
