8 Clean + Minimalist Wedding Dresses at Cincinnati’s Blue Bridal Outlet

‍

‍

Clean, minimalist wedding gowns will NEVER go out of style! They were one of the top requested looks at Blue Bridal in 2024 — and we don’t see that changing in 2025 either! 

‍

So, what’s a “clean” wedding dress? It simply means the gown doesn’t have embellishments, lace, or sparkle (or at least not too much). However, this doesn’t mean it’s plain or simple. Ruching, structure, or small details make each and every clean gown unique! Clean bridal dresses come in a variety of fits, too — none are exactly alike! Chic style icons like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Meghan Markle love them, too.

‍

The team at Blue Bridal Outlet adores a minimalist bridal look. (Don’t worry, we still can’t resist lacy, sparkly gowns! But we’ll save that for another blog post.) Clean gowns are the perfect blend of modern meets timeless to us! Blue Bridal Outlet is located in Cincinnati’s famed Reading Bridal District. We carry Cincinnati’s largest selection of off-the-rack dresses, ready to take home the same day of purchase, alongside a line of curated orderable gowns. Make an appointment to shop with us here!

Minimalist, Clean Wedding Dresses in the Reading Bridal District

‍

Are you hoping for a fitted, clean wedding dress that shows off your shape? Check out this stunner by Madi Lane below. This bridal gown is currently available in a bridal size 10 at the Blue Bridal Outlet. The ruching at the waist will accentuate your figure, while the slit allows for greater mobility on your wedding day. (You want a dress you can dance the Cha Cha Slide in, obviously!)

‍

‍

If you’re looking for a less-fitted minimalist style that STILL emphasizes your shape, may we suggest this orderable beauty below? The modern ballgown’s cateye neckline combined with the ruched bodice is subtly sexy, while the slit in the skirt lets you show some leg. Best of all, you can order this lovely dress in ANY size via the Blue Bridal Outlet in the Reading Bridal District.

‍

‍

One of our favorite combos at Blue Bridal is a clean gown with PEARLS! So naturally, we love this orderable fitted dress below with pearled cutout panels. The gown’s sweetheart neckline and crepe fabric ensure you’ll be comfortable all night long, while the silhouette keeps it sultry. Accessorize with a pearl-edged veil (also available at Blue Bridal), and your wedding look is complete!

‍

‍

Getting married at a fashionable downtown Cincinnati locale like 21c? May we suggest this elegant but breezy gown below? The petite train will allow you to walk all over the city looking for great photo opportunities with your photographer and fiancé! The cowl neckline and boned bodice will make your beloved swoon. The off-the-shoulder straps are another bonus on this off-the-rack gown, currently available in a bridal size 4 at Blue Bridal. (Coming soon in bridal size 20!)

‍

‍

Bows are another huge bridal trend forecasted for 2025. If you desire an elegant gown with bows, check out this orderable Adore style available in any size. The delicate bows on the tops of the shoulders are oh-so-sweet, but the gown’s sleek silhouette keeps it from being too cute. The scoop neckline is sublime, as is the daring low back. And, of course, we are obsessed with the buttons all the way down the train!

‍

If you love old Hollywood glam, we think you’ll be smitten with this classic bridal dress below! The fabric’s sheen will photograph impeccably, and the off-the-shoulder straps will show off your décolletage. The ruched waistline is always a favorite of our stylists, and you already know we love a slit in a wedding dress! Think of the shoes you can show off in this dress! It’s currently available at Blue Bridal in a bridal size 18.

‍

‍

Clean a-line wedding dresses can be tough to find, but we have an amazing orderable option at Blue Bridal Outlet in Cincinnati! This crepe beauty comes with or without a slit in any size! The gentle square neckline and belted waistline are sure to please both you and your fiance. Just picture this stunner in the gardens of Marmalade Lily during the spring or summer. You can’t help but smile!

‍

‍

‍

If you are drawn to clean, sophisticated wedding looks but still want a hint of sparkle, we have a dress for you! This orderable Adore wedding dress comes in all sizes and features a hint of beading and shine just above the neckline. The charmeuse fabric will sway gorgeously during your first dance. Add some fabulous earrings (also offered at Blue Bridal), and your guests are sure to be utterly enchanted. This wedding dress is also highly customizable and offered with/without a keyhole back and with/without a slit!
