Sheer cover ups

Flaunting your back doesn't have to mean something outright sexy. Barely-there layers add on an ethereal and romantic charm. 

Dimensional flowers adorning a see-through back panel draw attention - you'll want to opt for an updo with this one.

Keyhole backs are great for giving your wedding day look a hint of playfulness - a peek of bare skin while remaining church aisle-appropriate.

Dramatic details

6/8

A high-octane interpretation of the portrait back, you can be sure plenty of eyes will be on you as you make your way up the aisle. Break out the shoulder pads for a dash of androgyny.

Delicate straps

7/8

Minimalists can in on the action, too. Slim delicate straps, crisscrossed or otherwise, are perfect for giving a feminine, boho feel - especially with flowing layers or breezy lace pieces.

Shine like a bride

8/8

Love sparkle? So do we. Give an airy ballgown a sultry twist with a sheer back (and plenty of glittery details for that fairy tale vibe), or go for chic modernity with a fitted silhouette, minimalist skirt and plenty of shimmering embroidery.
