High fashion trends and modest apparel don't always go hand in hand. But occasionally you will find those moments when fashion embodies both style and modesty, creating a level of class that is unique and breathtaking.
While dress shopping has grown increasingly frustrating as lower cuts and sleeveless dresses become more popular, take some inspiration from these elegant, modest, and stunning gowns celebrities have worn on their wedding days.
Note: Not all of these dresses are perfectly modest according to Church standards, but we think they can still provide inspiration for Latter-day Saint women who wish to be fashionable and modest. We are also not making any commentary or endorsing any particular celebrities.
