Few bridal trends stay popular as long as an open back wedding dress. This style has become a true fashion statement over the years. Dare to be different, and show off your figure with a flattering open back wedding gown!

You might be on the fence about whether or not to go with an open back wedding dress. You might not feel comfortable showing off some skin or simply do not think open back dresses look good on you. Regardless of your doubts, here is a couple of reasons why you should try this style:

– Open back dress styles match a true bohemian vibe. Boho is the biggest trend this season. Bohemian wedding dresses are all about looser fit and flowing fabrics to show off your body. Even if you are aiming for a more formal wedding, an open back detail paired with silk, chiffon or lace will create the bridal look that is classy and elegant. 

– There are three main styles of an open back wedding dress. A back can be above the waistline, on the waistline, or below the waistline. Pair any of these styles with a chosen silhouette to create your perfect look. For a feminine look, we would recommend mermaid style wedding dresses with low back. If you are looking for more relaxed fit you can try A-line silhouettes with open back above the waistline. The possibilities are endless! 

– One of the most popular choices is a lace back wedding dress. This style says elegance and sophistication; it adds modesty and romance to a bride’s image. A lace back wedding dress also works magic by creating an hourglass figure and helping to conceal minor skin imperfections. A lace back wedding dress guarantees to have all eyes on you when you are walking down the aisle on your big day! 

In addition, wedding dresses with lace backs or illusion backs are more comfortable to wear.
