Simple does not always mean boring. In fact, taking things back to basics with your wedding gown could give off quite an elegant feel.

We understand that every bride has a different sense of style, and if all-out drama is your thing when it comes to dresses, then make it happen, queen!

For this article, though, we're focusing on our simple brides. If you're looking for inspiration for a gown that exudes a quiet confidence, then look at some of the options below.

Simple yet sexy. This dress features a low back with elegant draping and some button detail too. The front is kept simple with a deep V-line and spaghetti straps. We also love the figure-hugging fit.

If an A-line skirt is more your thing, maybe this design will draw you in. The thick band at the ribcage accentuates the tiniest spot of the waist, while the A-line skirt flairs out a little bit to add a beautiful shape. Keep it sultry with a gorgeous deep V at the neckline. Oh, and we should also mention - it's got pockets!

If you're after simple with a hint of drama, how about a statement sleeve? If that's not your thing, then a giant elegant bow could do the trick as well.

Change up the style with a halter neckline. Halter dresses just scream summer. Try a silk, flowy option for a classy wedding look.
