What is a Minimalist Wedding Gown?

The dresses are usually white and rely on natural curves for the beauty. Minimalist wedding dresses usually indicate a ceremony and reception with minimal decorations. Most minimalist venues rely on nature’s or the building’s natural beauty. This is a great way to maximize natural landscape, andminimize costs.
