As soon as Meghan Markle appeared out of her town car, the hysteria around plain & simple gown began. Almost immediately after, we had brides calling and asking if we had plain, chic gowns instead of the lacy, beaded trends previous. While lace and beading isn't going ANYWHERE, we are loving how pristine and beautiful the simplistic gowns are. Whether you're looking for a fitted stunner of a gown or more of a regal, princess a-line, any silhouette looks great in this classic look. Below are just a few of our absolute favorites available to be tried on in store. Make an appointment and check out these beauties now!
