14 Simple & Elegant Wedding Dresses for the Classic Bride
Many brides opt for classic when it comes to their wedding day looks. The word classic usually brings forth other words such as timeless, sophisticated, and elegance all wrapped up in one. Determining how timeless a gown is all comes down to the details and individual elements of the dress. Classic and chic wedding dress silhouettes are normally a-line and ball gowns. They rarely show a lot of skin, so the neckline is also key. Bateau or boat neck is one of the most timeless necklines. High necklines are also timeless. Whether straight or sweetheart, strapless will forever be a classic because they are universally flattering. If you are a classic bride and are looking for a simple and elegant dress, we have got your back. We’ve rounded up 14 simple and elegant wedding dresses for the chic bride.
