For modern brides, understated, simple yet striking dresses have become a bridal staple. From sleek silk designs to bold mikado gowns, each gown shines in its minimalism, letting the natural beauty of the woman wearing it become the main focal point. At Martin Thornburg, we create contemporary, sleek wedding dresses for brides looking for something that effortlessly makes a statement on their wedding day. 

Sleek Wedding Dresses from Martin Thornburg

For brides seeking an understated, effortlessly elegant bridal look, Martin Thornburg has designed sleek, modern wedding dresses to give each woman a couture-level bridal look. Using gorgeous silks, mikados, and the tiniest hints of lace detailing, these gowns stand out in their bold simplicity and effortlessly chic design. For brides with a timeless, less-is-more approach to personal style, these wedding dresses create bridal elegance through careful draping and flawless construction to make you feel stunning on your wedding day. 

Why we love sleek wedding dresses:

Minimalism has begun gaining traction as a bridal trend thanks to Meghan Markle's stunning boat neck dress for her royal wedding, and we couldn't be happier. The parred-back approach design places the focus on the bride rather than the dress, letting the smallest design details carry greater weight. From bold ruffles to sleek spaghetti straps and classic silk A-line gowns, these minimalist wedding dresses stand out from the crowd. 

How to style a sleek wedding dress:

Something we love about these sleek, understated wedding dresses is the ability to really play around with your personal style. A boldly simple dress calls for equally bold accessories. Find accessories that blend your personal style with the gown, whether it's a vintage hair comb or a bright, fun pair of shoes to add your own twist to a simple wedding dress. We think this is the best part of a sleek design: the bride herself is able to get more involved in the design process.
