Want to get married in a dress without looking like Pnina Tornai dumped you in a pile of entangled flowers and organza lace? Simple and elegant, these wedding dresses are less traditional and easy on your wallet.
The Tyler Cowl Neck Dress features thicker fabric, simple lines, and a higher neckline. It stays away from frill, boobie action, flowery embellishments, and long flowing skirts, but still keeps the classic white and silky texture of a traditional wedding dress. Available at Shopbop.com for $450.
For an alternative to the classic white and the symbolism that comes along with it, the Arabelle dress in silk is a comfortable dress to get your dancing on. It comes in 13 different colors and lengths. My favorite is dusty shale because it’s subtle and goes well with the texture of the delicate silk chiffon. Available at J Crew for $235.

The “Say You Will Dress” embodies clean-cut elegance. The darted bust keeps your chest from being too accentuated and, like the first one, doesn’t show any cleavage. It creates a beautiful and bold silhouette, perfect for sunset photo shoots with your loved one. Available at Modcloth for 179.99.
