42 Classic Wedding Dresses That Are Anything But Boring

Although we spotted plenty of avant-garde trends at Bridal Fashion Week—including statement sleeves, black chokers, and full-length capes, just to name a few—timeless silhouettes still had us swooning. Gowns with clean lines were a staple in every major designer collection this season. And you can't go wrong with a classic, right?

Minimalists, now is your time to shine in a gown with a structured fabric, architectural seams, and minimal adornment, like the new styles debuted at Anne Barge, Monique Lhuillier, and Ines Di Santo. For a pared-down '90s vibe, check out the slinky sheaths from Kelly Faetanini, Lela Rose, and Liancarlo. Lace lovers, we didn't forget about you. A dress with accents only on the neckline or bodice creates a soft and ethereal look. Or go for the full Grace Kelly effect by pairing a high neckline with long sleeves.

Check out some of our favorites below—happy shopping!
