Over the years, we have seen several trends come and go. While we are sincerely glad that some of them have left the scene, we think there are others that should transcend the realm of trends and deserve to become classics!

Fantastic back details on wedding dresses are one such trend, that we would really be sorry to see disappear. Ever since the illusion style entered the wedding scene, there’s been no stopping it. Dresses with illusion necklines are simply stunning, but ones with illusion backs are even more enchanting. An illusion back gives a dress an unusually attractive appeal, and favors the bride as that one detail that guests won’t miss when she stands with her back to them during the ceremony. Then, there are also tastefully cut-out wedding dress backs and those with exquisite details decorating it. These dresses are masterpieces not only from the front, but also from the back.

Fortunately, many brides are still smitten by this beautiful and interesting detail to wedding dresses, and designers spend effort and energy in coming up with these beautiful elements.

We’ve done a post previously on dresses with fantastic back details, and have seen how much you all loved it. So, for those of you who really enjoyed it, here are some more wedding dresses that are pure eye-candy just for the back details they possess. Have fun looking at them.

1. Mori Lee 2789

This Mori Lee 2789 from the Fall 2015 collection is a splendid example of a dress with intricate back details. Contrast beading along the center of the sheer back and neck craft a statement look, while the fabric is almost transparent against the skin. The design at the back provides additional support to the bust area, and this makes it comfortable to wear throughout the day. In the front is a similar illusion effect, with the scoop neckline fashioned into an almost necklace-like design with elaborate beading that gently spans the entire neckline length. This dress will save the bride from searching for a necklace, as the design will itself cover this requirement. The sleeveless look and sweetheart bodice make it a stunning beauty, while the fit and flare silhouette is elongating and allows a bride to show off her hourglass figure to the fullest.

2. Mori Lee 2786

Another stunning beauty from the Mori Lee Fall collection, this dress is different in that it possesses a beautiful keyhole design that is fashioned out of delicate and dainty lace details. Nobody would ever imagine that the beautiful and modest V-neckline in the front would hold this stunning composition at the back. Notice how it draws attention to your slender and well-toned back! Some dresses are like that, it is the additional mystery of the unexpected that makes it extraordinary. Alencon lace forms the border of the keyhole back here, and the details are both intricate and feminine. The keyhole design is prominent, yet modest due to the addition of the buttoned detail at the neckline. So, for the rebel bride in you, who has to cover up her shoulders for a traditional wedding, this wedding dress may be the outlet for your bold streak. Once again in a fit and flare silhouette, this dazzling beauty features pearl and crystal beading along the V-neckline in the front. These sparkling elements contrast beautifully with the white fabric beneath it, making it a glamorous gown. It also features a scalloped hemline.

3. Mori Lee 6805

A destination wedding doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style because of the difficulty of transporting your wedding dress. This Mori Lee 6805 belongs to the Voyage collection—dresses perfect for a wedding abroad. The fabric is light and airy, and easy to carry, and the details are just right to make it a comfortable wedding dress. This dress features a modest-cut V-neckline in the front, but the beautifully cut V at the back is the main factor that attracts us to the gown. The V is fashioned out of ruchings all the way from the sleeveless neckline to the waist, where there is a splendid waistband that enhances the slim waistline. A few fabric covered buttons are all it takes to add a classic touch to this elegant gown. In the front, the beautiful V-neckline is formed of a ruched criss-cross pattern that crosses at the center. We can imagine how beautiful a demure bride would look in this feminine wedding gown, whether she gets married on the beach or at in indoor venue.

4.Jasmine T172018

Our next pick is this couture gown from the Jasmine Spring 2015 collection. This gown fits the saying that appearances can be deceptive. From the front, it is an interesting halter neckline style gown with illusion style details spreading over the sweetheart bodice. Turn around, and Voila! Here is something we least expected to see.

6. Alfred Angelo 2524

Here is a wedding gown from the Alfred Angelo 2015 bridal collection, that is as beautiful from the back, as it is from the front. The sheer yoke on the back is a flourish of intricate details with beads and crystals. The embellishments wind along the central string of fabric buttons, and also continue along the neckline towards the front of the dress. The result is a stunning design that stands out like no other. So, if your guests think that the embellished cap sleeves and gently curved V-neckline in the front are exquisite, just wait till they see the back details. We are sure you’ll see quite a few jaws dropping. Make sure you choose a beautiful hair up do, so you can show off the back details very well.

7. Alfred Angelo 2509

Satin dresses are usually famous for the stylish design they feature in the front. Here is a dress that continues to stun with an even more attractive back. The high bateau neckline in the front leads into an unexpected plunging deep V at the back with a matching drape and superb bow detail. The fabric covered buttons that continue all the way to the derriere only enhance the charm further. This is like a dress that never ceases to surprise. We are immensely impressed, and are sure that your wedding guests will also be, as they gaze at you from the back during your wedding ceremony and reception.

8. Alfred Angelo 2502

Here is a wedding dress that makes quite a statement when viewed from the back. A slithering fabric button train weaves its way down the neckline towards the derriere and culminates in a fantastic layered skirt that softly flows to floor length. We love the way the bodice continues into the sheer yoke with a border of beautiful floral motifs that encircle an almost transparent keyhole. With the sheer fabric across the keyhole barely visible, it is almost as if the floral lace appliques cling to the natural skin of the bride. It is a work of art, no doubt about it!

9. Sophia Tolli Y21519 Sawyer

From the gorgeous Sophia Tolli Fall 2015 collection, here we bring you a majestic taffeta trumpet dress with a stunning back design. Hand beaded lace appliques with delightful floral details, surround the lovely keyhole cut-out in the back. The way the lace appliques thin into a strand that extends into the beautiful chapel train is simply splendid. From the front, the dress is just as interesting, with similar lace appliques wrapping around the bodice and the sleeves, and featuring a barely-there sheer neckline. The combination of lace over the draped silky satin makes this dress a pure stunner. The asymmetrical one-sided draping also creates a slimmer silhouette and it is stylish and elegant from every angle.

10. Sophia Tolli Y21518 Brandyn

Another dazzling beauty from the Sophia Tolli Fall collection, the Brandyn is a dress that looks as beautiful as the winter scene itself. The sheer back bodice is strewn with sparkling snowflake-like crystal details and although it has an open back, there is a classic and timeless elegance to it. The front features an illusion bateau neckline with cap sleeves wrapping around a sweetheart bodice. Just as we can see in the back, the elaborate vintage-inspired embroidery details extend up to the waistline. From here, delicate white Aurora chiffon cascades down to full-length, pooling into a chapel length train that is foamy and airy. The richly pleated skirt has a pristine and perfect beauty, and it is a stunning example of a gown perfect for a winter wedding.

11. Sophia Tolli Y21517 Chandler

This dress from the Sophia Tolli Fall 2015 collection packs an impact from every angle, with it’s simple but tasteful design. A perfect choice for a modest look, but one that is still memorable because of how beautifully it is done, this wedding gown has a semi-sheer back that is richly decorated with specks of snowy flakes that blast all over the bodice in the back. There is a slender fabric button train that ends in a basque waistline at the back, and there is a small band of scintillating elements adding extra dimension. Equally mesmerizing from the front, the dress features semi-sheer cap sleeves with rich embellishments framing a sweetheart bodice.
