How to choose the perfect simple wedding dress!
The simple wedding dress is one of the most exciting choices for any bride-to-be, isn’t it? Whether you’re planning a large ceremony or a more intimate celebration, the dress you wear should reflect your personality, while making you feel comfortable and radiant.
While princess dresses often take center stage, at DIY, we believe that simplicity pairs perfectly with elegance! We focus on modern designs for brides who want to stand out with simplicity and elegance.
So, if you’re looking for a simple yet chic wedding dress in Quebec, let us guide you through some essential tips to help you find the perfect “simple” dress that suits you.
1. The importance of defining your own simple and chic wedding dress style
Nowadays, getting married has become a couple’s project and a 100% personal choice. The same goes for your dress. It should reflect who you are.
Whether you opt for a short wedding dress or a long wedding dress, many options are available to you. If you’ve never dreamed of a princess gown adorned with rhinestones, listen to yourself, and you will shine even more.
Our wedding dresses, displayed in our showroom in Old Montreal, are designed for the modern bride: independent, natural, and undeniably chic. You’ll find unique pieces, from classic white wedding dresses to more daring lace or silk designs.
2. Determine if a simple wedding dress is right for you
The definition of simplicity varies from bride to bride. After more than 8 years in this industry and thousands of brides accompanied, we know that the vision of a simple wedding dress can differ greatly from one bride to another.
Here is, in our opinion, what is NOT considered a simple wedding dress:
- A princess gown
- A voluminous dress
- A dress with strass and sequins
On the other hand, a simple wedding gown can be:
- A modern dress
- A minimalist dress
- A flowy dress
- A bohemian dress (often seen as the opposite of traditional princess gowns)
Montreal is a creative city, and our showroom draws inspiration from that. We work with local and international designers who share our vision of the modern, bold bride. To help you determine if you’re truly looking for a simple wedding dress, discover our collections of designer dresses here.
3. Simple wedding dress models, yes… but unique!
Simplicity does not mean banality. A simple wedding gown plays with subtle details that make all the difference.
- A bold cut: for example, a square neckline, special sleeves, an open back, or a slit
- Exceptional fabrics: noble materials such as silk, crepe silk, or refined embroidery
- A simple wedding dress paired with unique accessories: puff sleeves or an overskirt that transforms the look from the ceremony to the evening
Each simple wedding dress model is chosen for its timeless elegance and its ability to transform a simple silhouette into a true work of art.
4. Create a custom look with a simple long or short wedding dress
One of the great advantages of a simple wedding dress is its ability to accommodate all your personalization desires. A clean, minimalist dress offers the perfect canvas to express your style through accessories. Whether with delicate jewelry, a subtle veil, or bold shoes, the simplicity of the dress allows you to play with details while maintaining a harmonious look.
The beauty of a minimalist dress lies in its versatility: each element you choose can reflect your personality and adapt to the mood of your day, whether intimate or festive. This approach allows you to create a look that evolves with you, from the ceremony to the evening, while staying true to your vision.
5. Adapt the wedding dress to your silhouette
When searching for the perfect wedding dress, it is crucial to consider your body shape.
Simple dresses can be very flattering if they are well-fitted and suited to your figure. To help you determine the best cut for you, there’s no secret: the best way is to try them on yourself. Let the sales consultant guide you and don’t hesitate to try cuts that are outside your everyday clothing habits.
Since it’s not always easy to have an objective view of your own body shape, trust our style experts who will assist you during your appointment. Be sure to bring trusted companions with you for your wedding dress fitting.
6. Think about comfort
Finally, don’t forget that comfort is essential when choosing your wedding dress. You will likely be wearing it for several hours, so it’s important that it’s as comfortable as it is beautiful. Opt for soft and lightweight fabrics like satin or silk, and make sure the dress’s cut allows you to move freely, especially if you plan to dance or spend time outdoors.
