The Clean And Modern Wedding Dress

Incorporating clean lines, sharp structures and contemporary silhouettes, the minimalist wedding dress is a lovely option for the modern bride.

Whilst known for her intricate and detailed hand-embroidered wedding dresses, Phillipa and her team have been perfecting the art of the clean and modern wedding dress for over 35 years. 

Crafted from luxurious fabrics such as sumptuous duchess satin or mouldable silk crepe, these gowns require the most skilled and delicate of hands to create. Often, the simpler the design, the more difficult it is to execute, as it’s ever more important for the fit and cut to be just right.

Hand-crafted by expert artisans in the Phillipa Lepley Atelier there is no room for error. For all of Phillipa’s couture designs, creating the perfect balance and proportion on the body is of utmost importance – this is especially true with a clean and simple wedding dress.

When embarking on a couture journey at Phillipa Lepley, a bride will undergo a series of fittings to refine the design to her. During, Phillipa’s expert fitting team will draw the lines of the dress on a calico mockup, to ensure the most flattering fit. A signature Phillipa Lepley corset can be used to further accentuate the proportions of the dress and celebrate the female form.

Contrary to some beliefs, a clean wedding dress does not mean boring. In fact, a minimalist gown embodies understated elegance, making a subtle yet powerful statement that allows the beauty of the bride to shine through.

However, should a bride choose to add something extra to the dress, there are many options to choose from – for example modern bows, bespoke embellishment and embroidery or statement sleeves. The possibilities of couture are endless.

Phillipa Lepley is recognised globally as a leading British wedding dress and eveningwear designer, renowned for bespoke couture dresses of the utmost luxury. Her wedding dress shop in London, Chelsea, has over 50 dresses, all of which have been made in England from start to finish at her atelier.
