These Simple and Elegant Wedding Dresses Will Have You Swooning

Modern Wedding Posted: June 6, 2019

Keep it simple, sweetie! The latest designer wedding dresses from Essense of Australia, Stella York and Martina Liana take modern simplicity to new heights for this year’s minimalist brides. With a combined sense of fresh modernity and classic tradition, these styles allow every simplistic bride to have the gown of her dreams on her big day.

Classic and elegant with a hint of sexy, these styles have it all for the modern bride. Plunging side cutouts and V-neckline are masked by illusion tulle in Essense of Australia Style D2473, while stretch crepe and traditional buttons fall effortlessly about the figure for a feminine touch. The Dove satin silhouette in Stella York Style 6742 offers a more structured fit-and-flare shape, with curved seaming and a subtle sweetheart neckline for a refined playfulness that detail-loving minimalists will adore.

Cleanliness is next to elegance, and there’s no better way to show it than with these gowns! Style 1034 from Martina Liana features a Bellagio Crepe silhouette that hugs the figure beautifully with comfort-fit lining, and enhances the shape with luxe contour seaming—not to mention that criss-cross detailing in back for a fashion-forward statement! Style D2477 from Essense of Australia offers a sweet off-shoulder neckline and delicate plunge, which brings a bit of an Old Hollywood feel to this distinctly modern style.

No one can bring the glam on a minimalist gown quite like Miss Stella York. The Grand Mikado bodice features plunging side cutouts that are daring at first glance, but are secured with a modest fit thanks to the illusion tulle coverage! The voluminous tulle skirt also makes a powerful statement with an airy touch, and will surely make you the centre of attention—as the gentle, frothy train flows out behind you for a look worthy of a modern majestic.

Nothing says “refined simplicity” quite like a relaxed ballgown! Truly the best of both worlds, these simple gowns feature luxe textures amidst soft, seamless fabrics … and who can forget the beloved pockets? The soft ruching along the bodice in Essense of Australia Style D2753 accentuates the figure, while the delicate strappy back in Martina Liana Style 1088 complements the origami-inspired (and detachable) bow. Whichever you choose, these styles offer an ageless ballgown look that is perfect for today’s bride!
