20 Amazing Wedding Dresses That Are Both Gorgeous and Modest!

Our wedding day is meant to be one of the most important days of our lives, especially if you’re a woman! Don’t get me wrong, the special day is important for both parties, but for the woman, it’s the chance to put on a big, poofy, gorgeous dress and feel more beautiful than you’ve probably felt for the whole of your life!

A wedding takes a lot of organisation, there’s making sure the seating plan doesn’t offend any of the guests, the food, the drink, deciding on the best man…the list is endless!

But it’s always the wedding dress that gets the most attention, isn’t it? In fact, it’s probably the one thing that takes the most planning and decision making & to make the pressure on you even worse, not everyone has the budget for an expensive wedding dress, nor do all woman want too much of the ‘wow factor!’

Yes, even with wedding dresses, sometimes…less is more! So, if you’re looking for some modest, yet still gorgeous wedding gown ideas…or just want to fawn over some subtle, pretty dresses for a few minutes, then keep reading, you’re in for a treat!
