For the spring bride who wants easy, effortless style on her wedding day, there's this gorgeous 2014 collection from J.Crew. The collection is made up of delicate looks in lace, silk and sheer panels that really let the beauty of the bride shine through.
Looks in the minimalist collection include cocktail dresses and jumpsuits that are equally as relaxed as the bridal dresses. Some of the white outfits are so simple, it's easy to imagine them being worn time and time again after a wedding, especially since they're not overloaded with lace or other overly decorative bridal details. Paired with a small, simple bouquet, these dresses are timeless and extremely chic for the bride who doesn't like a lot of fuss.
