THE MINIMALIST WEDDING DRESS: FALL 2013 TREND HIGHLIGHT

For those ladies out there seeking the gown minus all the ruffles, beading, poof, frills, rouching, lace,  sparkle, appliques, and any other form of flare we may have forgotten- this might not be a trend but more so a dream come true. The runways at Fall Bridal Fashion week were brimming with beautifully simple, sleek wedding dresses and we could not wait to share some of our favorites...
