Yeah, sequinned embellished bodices are great, but have you ever tried contrasting your fresh glowing wed-ready skin against a crisp white mikado?

Not so much glitz and glam, more polished and demure, here’s our pick of 10 of the best 2022 minimalist wedding dresses for the cool, calm and collected brides.

1) ROYALTY BY POLLARDI

This dress needs more than just a moment. A standing ovation and a stallion-backed entourage will do.

As featured in Belle Bridal’s Digital Edition in our luxe Modern Fairytale shoot at Ellingham Hall, this gown oozes luxuriance and sophistication with dreamy fabrics and an off the shoulder drape. Add to that a leg split and the sexy silhouette just took on a whole new meaning.

Available at Si Bridal

2) LYNN BY EVA LENDEL

If ever there was a disco diva evening bridal look, the Lynn playsuit by Eva Lendel takes the biscuit. And the cakem (and the whole buffet to be frank).

We adore this light and fresh outfit that doesn’t pretend to be anything other than dazzling - as evidenced in our shoot at Kinmount House for Issue 24.

Available at Pretty Woman Edinburgh - exhibiting at Kinmount House LOVE&LUXE 10.04.22

3) TOMMIE BY WILLOWBY

Dreamy and ethereal vibes, Tommie by Willowby by Watters is a sterling example of how chic boho meets modern minimalism.

A gorgeous floral detailed skirt and sleek spaghetti strap bodice make for the perfect match.

4) 2222 BY JESUS PEIRO

Clean cut and statement. This gown is for the bride who knows her style and sings it with gusto. A beautiful plunging neckline travels to a belt with detailed rose buckle for a feminine flourish.

Available at Bridal Wish Blagdon

5) AUDRE DRESS AND CARDEN TOP BY CHARLIE BREAR

Want to get a little celestial on your special day? We’re starry eyed over this combo from Charlie Brear, evoking max style and minimal effort with chic balloon sleeves and the most dreamy star-embellishments.

Available at Rebel Rock Bridalwear

6) CHICA BY WTOO BY WATTERS

Enter Chica, the rolling rating organza gown with attitude and cheekiness that’s impossible to turn a blind eye to.

There’s pockets, there’s clean lines, there’s leg, there’s a handmade floral bouquet brooch. What’s not to love.

Available at Leigh Hetherington Bridalwear

9) VIVIANE BY WATTERS
