Looking for a simple, classic white dress for your wedding? While many brides choose to sport long trains, layered tulle skirts, or intricately detailed designs for their walks down the aisle, others prefer to take the "less is more" approach. These types of brides opt for minimally-decorated sheaths or A-line gowns with subtle embellishments (or none at all). If you find yourself gravitating towards this camp, we're all for it.

After all, dressing up for wedding dress doesn't necessarily mean choose a gown decked out in sequins and beads. Sometimes all you need is an interesting neckline, an illusion sleeve, or a unique accessory for a stunning wedding-day look. That's the best part about going simple with your bridal style—there are a ton of different options you can consider for your finishing touches. Whether that means pairing your dress with a special belt, going full-glam with your makeup and hair, or even playing it up with a pair of unexpected pumps, an simple wedding dress is often anything but boring.

While designers embrace new trends every season, there's something about simplicity that never goes out of style—which is why we always see tons of these classic gowns every season. Even in the most ornate collections, complete with bows, 3D embellishments, and sexy high-slits, you'll always find a subtle stunner (like this Spring 2020 Molly Moorkamp number!) holding its own ground. Here, you'll found our absolute favorites through the years. Get ready to be beyond inspired by these gorgeous, simple wedding dresses from all of our favorite wedding dress designers.
