Step up the drama with a gorgeous back design for your wedding dress

Your wedding is a day when you should look splendid in every way. While you may have chosen a great wedding dress with fantastic detailing on the bodice and skirt, have you paid attention to what is on the back of the dress? If you haven’t, you simply should! After all, your guests will be facing your back for quite some time, during your wedding ceremony..

Gone are the days when the back of a wedding dress was a simple corset or a closed zipper. Today, the trend is to look dramatic from every angle, including the back. Don’t worry about your veil getting in the way of looking glamorous from the back. Either keep it short, avoid it altogether, or take it off after the ceremony, so you can flaunt the gorgeous details at the back of your wedding dress.

As the TLC website mentions, wedding designers have been creative with crafting dramatic wedding dress backs, as this is what brides are after.

So, here are some of our favorites from the collection at Best for Bride, to inspire you. Get ready to swoon!

The high neckline continues into an intricately detailed back that offers modest coverage, while also allowing the bride to highlight her slender back with floral motifs that embrace the torso. Adding further elegance to the intricate details, is a strand of fabric buttons engulfed with floral lace details, that runs all the way from the neckline to the derriere.

Another favorite trend, this back features a cut out which is usually shaped like a tear drop or a diamond. Adding charm to this cutout is exquisite detailing in floral lace or using crystal embroidery. This Mori Lee 2723 gown features embellished beadwork on lace, which forms a beautiful border for the lace that wraps around the tear shaped cut out. The entire design has a feminine charm and it is stylish and definitely more sexy than a low cut back, with a hint of skin that peeps out!

Daring low-cut backs

For those brides who are in perfect shape and can beautifully carry off a plunging back, there are unlimited options. You do not have to be showy with a completely backless dress, you can flaunt your best feature in one with a low cut back, like this Mori Lee 2673 and still look elegant. Here the daring low scoop neckline is bordered with a thin band of intricate silver beading that adds a flourish of luxury to the already stunning design. Low cut backs are a trending favorite, as it allows the bride to show off her figure, but not go overboard with exposing too much skin.
