Slip Silhouette
A simplistic yet timeless style, the slip dress is a great option for the brides out there who are looking for a more loosely fitting dress that slightly grazes your figure. Slip dresses are usually made from satin or silk just like this beautiful, minimal Newhite dress. We love this style to dress up with some statement earrings or platform shoes or simply on its own for a more simple look.

The Trumpet silhouette has a straight bodice that continues down the waistline with a skirt that opens out into a flare shape around the mid-thigh. This stunning, fitted gown is made with balloon sleeves, giving the dress a fashionable touch. This would be perfect for the brides out there who want all the drama.

Annika Maria – Clearness Dress
Falling around the mid-calf, the midi length is another style slightly different to a traditional full-length gown. This beautiful, backless dress is ideal for brides looking for something slightly different.
Fitted Silhouette
Each intricate stitch of this jaw-dropping gown will frame your body perfectly with its fitted silhouette. The nude fabric topped with the floral lace will leave people with only one word in their minds … wow.
