Bridal Fashion: Minimalism

The no-frills movement continues to dominate wedding world, where streamlined silhouettes and clean lines garner unfailingly chic impact.

 

Think impeccably tailored separates (especially trousers) or fuss-free jumpsuits and pantsuits in the best quality fabrics for seductive, form-sculpting fashions that ooze timeless style; add a detachable skirt for extra versatility. Alternatively, a plain satin ballgown fuses old school glamour with modern romance and can be customised with a single embellishment such as a veil, belt or back bow.

Slips and sheaths are key pieces of pared-back purity, as are classic A-lines updated with square necklines, cowl necks, open backs, or given a preppy vibe with collars.

As well as the staples of silk and crepe, brides will be drawn to the luxe likes of mikado, organza, jacquard and taffeta for a modern, more sculptural twist on minimalism.
