simplicity. is that a NO NO for a bride?

I often wonder, as a designer, what it would be like to transfer runway looks to the bride walking down the aisle. I've been thinking a lot lately about how chic and edgy it would be for a bride to wear a sleek ivory sheath dress with maybe a touch of lace and a simple veil.  How about a well fitting white pencil skirt with a soft flowy top with a touch of feathers and a short lace veil?  Or a soft flirty chiffon skirt with a cute lace button down top? Or for a beach summer wedding what about a pair of crepe de chine ivory shorts with an embroidered silk charmeuse scoop neck tank top?  Does this sound all too casual?  It just seems more practical, especially in this economy, and of course extremely stylish.  Every woman has a certain style that no other person can imitate, and on your wedding day that style that only you can carry shouldn't be eliminated, it should be highlighted.  I realize that every bride wants to feel like a princess on their wedding day and rightfully so.  But I think the younger generation of brides can still pull this off without wearing the traditional ball gown.  Our generation has been given the freedom to dare to be ourselves. The new 'tradition' is now within our hands. We create our own definitions of tradition. In other words, those ivory shorts with the embroidered silk charmeuse scoop neck tank top? If I so choose it to be my 'wedding gown', I have created my own wedding tradition. I care not what generations past have worn or planned or envisioned....Since this wedding is all about me, every little detail will be catered to however I imagine it.  

Of course, this is just MY point of view as a designer. My most important contribution is to create a bride's dream into a reality - be it a ball gown or a runway wedding.
