There are many reasons brides are choosing simple wedding dresses. Cost is a big factor.
Weddings are increasing in price along with everything else. A gown that is simple will help to fray some of that cost.
Simple doesn't have to mean frumpy. You want to feel and look your absolute best on your wedding day. There are countless designers with lines geared towards simple weddings and destination weddings. You can also find online boutiques with many different styles, as well.

means different things to different people. There is the traditional holoku which is usually a loose fitting and feminine dress.

should have enough give to float in the breeze. Be sure to look for a figure flattering dress. A
tea length dress
strapless, empire waist or halter neckline are all figure flattering and perfect simple dresses.
Look not only at specific lines for destination weddings, but also look at the bridesmaid dresses. Many can be found in white, cream and pale colors and are beautiful, inexpensive options.
Also remember to shop in finer department stores like Nordstroms or Macy's. Target also has a line by Issac Mizrahi. If you get creative and shop early, you will find that perfect simple dress.
