Sleek and Simple: Minimal Wedding Dresses that Make a Royal Statement

Trends

Meghan Markle has redefined the definition of a princess look for any bride walking down the aisle. In honor of her beautiful and simple gown designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, we've rounded up simple, minimal styled wedding gowns. If you desire a touch of glam, look for something simple with a subtle embellishment, whether it's a touch of lace, a delicate draping of beading or a dramatic v-cut. 

1. Rime Arodaky: The stunning “Lee” gown by Parisian designer Rime Arodaky boasts an off-the-shoulder neckline beautifully met with embroidered floral illusion tulle gracing the back. Romantic silk chiffon details on the skirt add texture and continue the flawless style.

3. Tara Keely: With a simple bodice and bold skirt, this fit and flare gown has it all. The unique halter neckline and keyhole detail are counterpoints to the sparkly tulle skirt, while a low-cut back ties it all together.
