9 Modern Wedding Dresses For the Contemporary Bride

Contrary to popular belief, modern wedding dresses can manage to be both sexy and simple. This Alice + Olivia Montana Lace Up Back Maxi Gown ($550) demonstrates that perfectly, as it features an understated design that's made all the more playful by a ribbed, corset-like top and body-hugging skirt. We recommend styling the dress with a low bun and lengthy veil for full effect.
