Simple slip wedding dresses
There is nothing plain about a simple wedding dress - and these gorgeous slip wedding dresses are cut to perfectly follow the shape of the body, and to move with it, from the finest possible fabrics. These slip wedding dresses are bias cut, across the grain of the fabric, which is what gives them such a liquid-like drape when worn. Explore bridal slip dresses with clean necklines, fine spaghetti straps, and the soft sheen of real silk - these effortless, minimalist wedding dresses do all the work, with no additional embellishment needed. If youโve been searching for a simple wedding dress, The Briderie has the one for you.

Halterneck slip dresses
A halter neck wedding dress adds some quiet drama to the simple slip - it draws the eye up to the shoulders, and leaves the back free as a subtle contrast to the simple styling in the front. Explore some of the halter neck wedding dresses in stock at The Briderie:
Iris by Clover London: a figure-hugging halter slip wedding dress in ivory crepe silk satin
Thea by Unbridled Studio: featuring a halter shoulder line, a more unusual take on the typical halter neck.

Finding the right neckline for you can transform how you look and feel in a wedding dress - we stock bridal slip dresses with a range of necklines. Consider the following as you find the right one for you:
Square necklines: Clara is a modern square neckline wedding dress, with tapered straps, a structured bodice and a bias-cut skirt.
High cowl: one of the most high-fashion necklines. May and Beatrice by Rolling in Roses both drape softly at the neck.
Halterneck: Arguably made a chic choice for wedding dresses by Meghan Markle, who famously wore a halter neck wedding dress as her second wedding dress in 2018. Iris and Clover (featured above) are halter neck slip wedding dresses available at The Briderie.
One slip wedding dress, multiple looks
The beauty of a bridal slip is that it can be layered, allowing you to mix up your wedding day look. A simple slip wedding dress is the perfect base for layering - wear it with an overskirt or bridal topper for the ceremony, then strip it back for the evening party. Here are some of our bridal separates that would pair perfectly with a slip wedding dress:
Clara would layer beautifully with the Emmie, Hallie or Cleo bridal tops
Add Tara for a touch of lace, puff sleeves and a gorgeous bridal bow
