Jenna Bush's wedding dress: Simple, sophisticated, and elegant

We knew that Jenna Bush planned to wear an Oscar de la Renta gown for her wedding this Saturday to Henry Hager. We had also heard the buzz that it was a "simple" dress, but Oscar de la Renta isn't exactly known for "simple" designs, so we've been dying to see the dress.

As it turns out, it was fairly simple in terms of the cut -- it was a curve-skimming v-neck gown with a very short train. However, the cut was the only thing simple about it -- the detail of the organza gown was extraordinary. It was a perfect dress for her outdoor wedding and reception at the Bush family's Prairie Chapel Ranch -- not overwhelming, but undeniably gorgeous.

Jenna accessorized her gown simply, wearing lovely quartz earrings and a few small, white flowers in her hair. She opted against wearing a veil (which is a smart thing to consider for an outdoor wedding -- wind can make wearing a veil difficult), and carried an understated bouquet of white flowers, which complimented the beading and embroidery of the gown.
