Sup, future nuptial minimalists, let’s talk fashion. Because even if your guest list is tiny, you still want to arrive in style, right? Minimalist weddings, my friends, are where the art of understatement meets the catwalk. Fashion that’s not screaming but whispering sweet nothingness into your ear—or rather, your eyeballs.
There you are, you and your partner, sleek and sophisticated, swanning down that aisle—or metro platform, I don’t know your life choices—draped in elegant simplicity. You’re wearing timeless pieces that won’t haunt you in next year’s late-night scroll through questionable wedding photos.
Let’s start with the minimalist’s wedding dress. We all know the classics: Ivory? Yes. Sequins? Maybe not. Think: understated elegance. We’re going for the kind of chic that wouldn’t look out of place in a black-and-white movie, yet somehow it’s still on trend in our social-media-obsessed era. A dress with clean lines, perhaps a silky slip or a soft A-line. No fuss, no frill, just fabulous. Plus, the same goes for the bridesmaids’ dresses, think simple matching cuts with complimenting colors. Pure luxe minimalism!
Oh, and gents, don’t think you’re off the hook. Minimalism loves you too! Forget the three-piece suit if you want something more laid-back. How about a well-tailored suit with a crisp white shirt, sans tie? It’s the sartorial equivalent of that cool guy in movies who somehow solves all problems with a wry smile and just a dash of mischievous charm.
And shoes! Let’s chat footwear. We want classic. We want comfort—but also a touch of “Oh, these? They just happened to be at the back of my closet.” For brides, a pair of sleek heels or, if you’re navigating cobblestones or fields, chic flats will do just the trick. Grooms, step away from the shiny shoes unless you’re going for that Gandalf-the-Gray-turned-disco motif.
Accessories, please don’t overthink it! This is not the Met Gala, darling. A simple string of pearls, a pair of understated cufflinks, or even a classic wristwatch can say more than an entire outfit of bedazzled madness. Less is more is not just a catchy phrase, it’s the mantra.
Hair and makeup? Keep it natural-ish. A polished version of yourself, because minimalist weddings are about authenticity, not a Kardashian-level contour. A loose updo, soft waves, or slick-back look could complement that minimalist vibe effortlessly.
Take a step back, breathe in, and remember — simplicity does not mean sacrifice! It’s about choosing pieces that speak to your personal style, not shout it. Minimalist wedding attire tells a quiet story, an elegant whisper in a world filled with noise.
Is there anything more fashionable than that?
