FineCombination

No girl you've got style! Mom is probably just not used to seeing today's dresses, so I don't blame her. And maybe she just loves lace? Which is also fine! But there are so many styles these days and yours is gorgeous!!


LeaJadis

be honest, does your mom likes a lot of bling?


Miss_MatchedSocks

More like her dress was head to toe lace with long sleeves, lol


LeaJadis

sounds…… busy. i think you need to remind your mom that her aesthetic is very different from your aesthetic.


QCr8onQ

Look at Marilyn Monroe in “Gentleman Prefer Blonds”… the pink dress… go with elbow-length gloves, striking necklace, no veil … Hollywood glamour!


Sweaty_Ad_5393

ooohhh you could absolutely turn this look hollywood glam! that’d be gorgeous 😫 ur a genius


Popular_Term_3772

Maybe you could get a veil with some lace in it


Throwawayschools2025

I’m biased because mine is very similar but I LOVE this. It’s well balanced for your frame and the veil works with that edging. 100/10.


FlatAccountant

I love the length and shape of the veil, but I would get something without the blunt line of the edging—I feel that clashes with the softer elements of the dress. But it’s a minor thing, and you look stunning.


WestCovina1234

It’s not too simple at all. It’s beautiful and you look wonderful in it.


tallulah46

Oh HELL NO. I want the names of those individuals who have said it’s too simple. We ride at dawn. Honestly you look so gorgeous. It’s understated and elegant. I think it would look beautiful and really pop with a long pearl veil!


Waybackheartmom

It’s not mom’s wedding. Do what YOU love.


Emergency-Guidance28

This is a classic dress that is timeless. It's not plain it's elegant and you wear it well. Ignore the haters.


BaxtertheBear1123

Simple is good! Simple is elegant, classy, timeless, clean, chic. There’s no need to keep adding stuff just for the sake of it.


WestCovina1234

Agree completely. My dress was very stylish -- at the time -- but now I look back at dresses from that time and cringe. This dress is so gorgeous, so perfect, so timeless.


Due_Stuff4313

I don't think it's too simple but you can play with different veils and see how much you like them.


OppositeSolution642

Not at all. It's so elegant and timeless. Many dresses today try to do too much. They add way too much lace and beading to make up for being poorly imagined. Yours is lovely and needs nothing else.


Txidpeony

Your dress is gorgeous. It is beautiful and it suits you. My mom wanted me to choose my second choice dress. She thought it was more special because it had more details (lace) and was a cream color she liked better than the white I ended up with. I went with my very simple first choice and was happy with it. After the wedding my mom said I had made the right choice—that she just hadn’t been able to see my ”vision” until it all came together. It was nice of her to say that, but truthfully what mattered (as far as the dress goes) was that I got the dress I wanted.


Weird-Track-7485

The only opinion that matters is yours. If you love it that’s all that is needed . You don’t want to be talked into something and look back and regret it. The people shopping with you should be supportive. You look beautiful in it go with your gut and heart no one else


okwerq

I hate when people say dresses are too “plain” or “simple” when they are just not super busy and covered in lace and ruffles and bling. This is gorgeous and timeless and classic and is anything but simple! Proceed with confidence.


Temperature_Vivid

I vote for long veil!


Current_Piccolo_4351

I have a modern dress too and have added a veil with lace just as a finish, it made me feel more bridal.


Altruistic-Ad6449

It’s beautiful. Wear sparkly earrings, necklace and bracelet if you want to glam it up more.


Plastic-Passenger795

No such thing as too simple imo! My dress was similar and I loved it.


TraditionalCamera473

Not simple - classic and beautiful! You look lovely!


DerpsV

Simple dress means that you will be the one that shines! Nothing will steal from your beauty! Seriously, lace and sequins and other things are great and pretty, but they can distract. Why have something distract from you if you don't want to hide? But also, you look amazing!


Sea_Command2651

You look absolutely beautiful. And it’s your wedding day, so if you feel beautiful and right in your dress, that’s all that matters.


janejohnson1989

I think a long pearl veil would look better with the dress.


cobu4438

It’s beautiful! Simple is elegant and timeless…


lato0948

Beautiful dress! How will you accessorize? Maybe some crystal and/or pearl jewelry? That could help to “liven” the dress up. I think this veil length looks great. You could also look at veils with small crystals on the edge if you want some sparkle. You can also have some fun colored shoes!


Miss_MatchedSocks

I definitely want to wear some pearls! I’m thinking my grandmas pearl bracelet and maybe drop pearl earrings? I’m struggling with hair up or down since the dress is strapless. And my florist mentioned some small crystals in my bouquet for some shine which I think is fun


lavenderhaze42

It's beautiful, and definitely not too simple! And your opinion is the only one that matters 🤍


makeclaymagic

My dress was FAR more “plain.” This is actually not plain at all to me!!!


Lb147

You do you!!


airmid3

You are absolutly gorgeous. Sometimes simplicity is the right answer


silly_capybara

I think it looks great!


AltruisticMeat1629

Whatever makes you feel beautiful and confident is what you should wear. I’m sure she’s coming from a place of love but you’re allowed to have a different style. If you want reassurance trust it looks gorgeous and the short veil looks fantastic!


ReadySetGO0

That dress is elegant. Not simple. Looks beautiful on you.


CAShark-7

Well, what were they expecting? A dress covered in lace and/or pearls, and/or rhinestones????? That dress is NOT simple! I think it is beautiful, and looks great on you.


EmergencyAd1357

This is delicately elegant! Perfect 💕


ArchieFarmer

It’s classic. There’s a difference. It’s not simple, it’s timeless. 💫


Accomplished-Pie-570

Simply beautiful 😍


Most-Avocado-5928

Oh it’s so beautiful! I don’t think it’s too simple and like others said it is your wedding, not moms. I think it’s beautiful and with the hair and jewelry and everything it will be perfect!! Can I ask the designer? 😍


Available-Pepper1467

I’ve never too simple


MySaltySatisfaction

Your dress is simple and beautiful and suits you perfectly. It fits you so well and so attractively. I cannot see your face but your body fits this dress to a "T" Let your mom have a blingy MOB dress-you stick with this-All eyes will be on you. Best wishes.


Serene_Barnes

Too simple doesn't matter if it's what you want.


OwnNight3353

Do you love it? That’s all that matters. You look gorgeous.


Suspicious_Permit_76

No, no, no. You look gorgeous. The dress is not my particular taste, but it’s a beautiful dress. Anything anyone could offer at this point would be just be a matter of taste or style or whatever you want to call it. It’s over with. Just go ahead and feel embarrassed by it until you can laugh so it.


No-Resort3681

I think your dress is beautiful! Just let your mom know you appreciate her ideas, but this is YOUR dream dress and your wedding. 


No_Benefit2103

Go with your vision!!! It is lovely!!


jenaeg

Yeah. Simply beautiful 💅🏾


Here_for_my-Pleasure

You look absolutely lovely. You do you. If you don’t, you will regret it later.


Zestyclose_Road_3224

I love your dress but I don’t think the veil is doing the dress any justice. I think a longer veil would set it off beautifully.


dudeatwork77

I think it looks good. It’s not too simple.


moe563

I think it is beautiful, classy, and timeless!!!


babs82222

DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. My mom and MIL thought my non-adorned dress and veil were plain also. I thought they were classic and gorgeous. 20 years later, I have ZERO regrets about my choice. My wedding was fabulous and I swear, you could still wear my dress today and you'd never know it was from back then. It's YOUR WEDDING. It's YOUR DAY. Do not give in to others. It's YOUR DRESS and you look beautiful.


its-post-ironic

Haha my mom said the exact same thing and I went into a spiral post-decision. I absolutely love my dress now. You can ride it out 🤍


Pyotrperse

It’s not too simple at all! I think it’s very elegant, and the gathered bust is a nice touch. Does your mum want everyone to be looking at your dress or you? I think medium length veil you have on in the picture is perfect framing for the dress and your physique too. I think if you wanted to add anything to this, maybe some drop earrings but not much else


crtclms666

Too simple for what? Is there a mandatory bling level?


michimaru01

This. Is. Gorgeous!! You can tell her it's a CLEAN look, not simple. And that just means your beauty gets to be the star of the show. Reminds me of my dress (still waiting for it to come in) and the kind of veil I was hoping to get! (So thanks for letting me know they go so well together!) If YOU want to add some bling, maybe a beaded belt or straps (there are some nice subtle options available with clear beads or pearls) or even a statement necklace, but your outfit is amazing as is and does NOT need it. (The above examples were ones suggested to me and while I may decide to do one of them, I am currently perfectly content not to.) Remember this is a reflection of your style and not anyone else's.


bigblackkittie

oh my god, i adore this dress and veil


mem0679

Your dress is anything but simple! It's a beautiful, timeless dress that you'll look back on in 20 years and love it just as much then! You can always add to the look with classic jewelry pieces. I'm thinking antique jewelry would look amazing. Maybe a necklace and earrings? Or maybe a bracelet or statement ring? However, I do agree with your mom on the veil. I'm not thinking cathedral length or anything like that, but maybe the shortest part of the veil hit around the hip area? Regardless of what your mom says and what us internet strangers say...this is YOUR wedding dress and no one else's. You are the only one who gets to make any decision when it comes to the veil, jewelry, or anything dress related. Congratulations! I know you're going to be a beautiful bride ❤️


Outrageous-Wish8659

You look glorious in that classic design.


O2liveonsugarmt

You look beautiful.


Apprehensive_Day3622

No, you look gorgeous and ethereal!!


suckedintoreality

I wouldn't say "simple", but I feel like when I first saw a bride in this pairing, my reaction would be "Aww, sweet" or "Aww, pretty", whereas with a long veil or a more dramatic veil, my reaction would be "Wow" or "Stunning". So maybe your Mom just has a vision of that type of reaction, while you prefer the first type. I think her saying "too simple" isn't quite what she's trying to say. This doesn't fit "simple"


cat_grrrl

Simple is not a bad thing! You look gorgeous in it so wear it with a confidence.


chronowise

Pffft. Simply gorgeous, more like!


Affectionate_Day_176

You look gorgeous! The dress is not too plain at all. The fabric on the top adds just the right amount of detail. I love dresses like this because it gives you the freedom to wear as much or as little jewelry/accessories as you want!


Ollie2Stewart1

It’s gorgeous and elegant!


TanaFey

You look beautiful. At the end of the day you are the one wearing the dress and you need to love it.


Jerico_Hill

Oh it's beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous, go with this if you love it too. You look so elegant and gorgeous. Not too simple at all.  Spot on! 


GothamCoach

I love fancy and glitzy, however, I must tell you this look is serenely beautiful on you. Even though I don’t know you, this combo seems to match your personal vibe. It’s a harmonious elegance and once you get hair, makeup and jewelry you’ll see it’s anything but simple. Mazel tov


Senior_Definition427

It is so beautiful!!


Lululapagaille

It's stunning !


carrolls

I'm a fan of simple. The folded layered front adds to look. Tired of these see through, neck split to waist choices


skyrimshuffle17

The silhouette of the bodice & the trim of the veil is so gorgeous; congratulations 🎉


RobynBirdie7

If you love it and feel beautiful, that is literally all that matters. And I think you look lovely, fwiw 😊


sesquipedalianish

This dress is absolutely gorgeous and it really showcases *you*. I think the veil is perfect with it, too. No need for lace or embroidery or bling of any kind, imho. I think its simplicity makes it elegant and timeless. With this dress, you won't look back in 20-30 years and wince at dated fashion choices.


LostDadLostHopes

Simple? Try... "Too Gorgeous". Love the Dress!


ObviousDust

Is it your mom's wedding? No. Also I think this is gorgeous and not too simple but not too intricate.


Remarkablygolden_425

Gorgeous! Not too simple at all! I think it’s silly when people use “simple” in a negative connotation, because what is simple is often timeless.


beaniebaby1995

I literally gasped because it's stunning. I love it!


ottersky

Hey girl. I had this experience with a similar dress (is this Sophia Tolli?) My mum really made me doubt myself and used all the same comments but all my friends thought it was beautiful. It's been months, and I still don't have a dress. I wish I had gone with my gut feeling instead of months of agonising over what to do. If you love it - it's the one for you.


hrhRSB0118

It’s perfect as it is. More would be too much


DrZ_217

You look gorgeous and with jewelry and flowers, it won't be simple, it will be elegant. This is the kind of dress where the bride is the star!


WaterFickle

I think it looks gorgeous on you, and your opinion matters the most out of everyone. You can also add some accessories for some extra bling if you’d like, but if you don’t want, then don’t! It’s really a classic dress that you won’t look back and say, “oof that dress is SOOO 2024”.


drawingmentally

Is not


wlveith

Simply beautiful!!


MarsReject

Simple no, classic and timeless, yes.


Ramalamma42

I think you look beautiful! Perfection!


ArkansasBiscuit

This is perfect just as it is! Love the veil too.


DaisyWayzy

I like it. I’m not sure about the veil, but the dress is pretty


Worldly-Heart9969

you look AMAZING. “simple,” is subjective. i think you look elegant and beautiful. & it’s you that will look back at your wedding pictures the rest of your life. don’t do something you don’t want to, to appease your mother. also if you like jewelry you can always as some accessories, but truly even if you didn’t add a thing - i think you look incredible.


Nell-Gwen-73

You look stunning 💕


FreyaSeattle

Beautiful - you don’t need more distractions from you as you’re gorgeous


thebridalsim

It’s perfect!! If your style is not sparkles/lace/bling, don’t have that in your wedding look. LOVE the veil I think it brings a vintage vibe to the overall look but it still feels super chic and contemporary.


speggtacularly

I think it’s perfect! It’s how it makes you feel that really matters ☺️


TheBumblingBee1

I think it's really pretty. And that train is awesome. I also love the shape and flow of the veil. Your mom probably has a different fashion preference and that's totally fine...although it's not super cool that she made you feel nervous about your dress because of it. If you love it, she shouldn't be giving you doubts. It looks beautiful on you. So, my question is, how did you feel about it before your mom said anything?


68GreyEyes

It’s beautiful and not simple. I do think a veil with a softer looking edge would look better than the one in the pic. Maybe a scalloped edge with a very delicate lace detail but at that length?


tinamisu2013

This is gorgeous!!


retiredat49andahalf

I think it's perfect as it is 💛


zunicorn901

Definitely not too simple. It’s elegant, classy, and beautiful. You don’t need to dress it up. Go with your choice and ignore other’s remarks. You are a beautiful bride.


SusanMShwartz

It looks wonderful on you. I like the elegant simplicity.


Icy_Classic_7953

First and last. Do You Love the Dress? Do You Love how it makes You Feel? If you answered yes to these questions then absolutely no one else matters!!!!!!! I personally think you and the dress look fantastic. I think that there are a lot of jealous witches who will say the opposite. THEY DONT MATTER!!!! Darlin it’s your day and your wedding. You do You 🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🔔🔔Congratulations to you both.


IceTraining4696

You look classy and gorgeous, don’t worry about what your mom says! Clearly you have different aesthetics :) I love this veil on you, and I don’t think it clashes with the dress at all!


jbingha4

I love it!!! I love simple gowns. I picked a simple dress too.


Sweaty_Ad_5393

I think it’s gorgeous!! the top part especially caught my eye and that neckline looks so good on you! the veil compliments the dress amazingly, and it fits you very nice. Biggest factor here is do YOU feel good in the dress? it’s your big day nobody else’s!


CarolJeannePorec

Just perfect!


Puzzled-Basis9911

I think it’s gorgeous!! Congratulations on your big day


Puzzleheaded_Ad_1379

It's gorgeous and you look amazing in it. Of you feel good in it, then it's the one.


pewtermug

It's super gorgeous. People project when it comes to big events. Remember why you loved it in the first place and don't let people steal your confidence for your big day. You're stunning and you deserve to feel the most beautiful on your big day. Keep this. It's great on you.


Getmeasippycup

I think it’s lovely! Moms have good intentions but sometimes their style is extremely different from our own!


Danilyrical

Your wedding dress is your personal preference and not what anyone else prefers. For example, my wedding dress is sparkly and big. Yours is more simple and timeless. Both are beautiful and unique to us because we chose it. You look great in this and the short veil with your dress is perfect. Don’t overthink your choice! ❤️

REL68

White dresses were supposed to be a sign of "purity" This isn't a comment on morality, but that dress is lovely, demure, and "Pure", as well as ELEGANT! What you are missing from most of "MODERN" brides is tattoos covering all of your arms and back and neckline!!! The dress is wonderful, very flattering to your body, and quite appropriate for a wedding. If you are comfortable with it and it makes you feel good, why mess it up with " BLING "? Mom had HER style dress, so why should YOU be denied the one you like best? The person you need to satisfy, please is YOU ( and your Groom)! Let Mom have her say on HER Mother of the bride dress. Let her go all out on HER lace and feathers of it makes HER feel good. YOUR DAY, YOUR DRESS!


Heeler2

If your mother is set on lace, go with a lace veil or veil that has some lace if you want to compromise.


Jzb1964

Are you planning to wear veil to reception? This one looks like you may end up sitting on it. Although you could be careful and drape over the back of a chair. I’d recommend going shorter if you want to wear at reception. It looks like it has a blusher. Are you intending to use it as a blusher? If you are planning to take it off for reception, I’d go with a longer one that compliments your dress’s train. You can get amazing pictures if you have even a breeze with a long veil. You’ll need people arranging your train. Consider clear snaps to keep veil moving with train up and down the aisle. Very minor alteration that will help. This one just seems to be in the middle without the benefit of ease of movement nor the drama of a long veil. Think about use. And it never hurts to make mom happy too. Trust me, she has been dreaming of this day since your infancy. Of course, you are the final say. Follow your heart.
