Backless Wedding Dresses

-- Backless Wedding Dresses --

As you and hubby-to-be recite your vows, your guests’ eyes will be on your backs. Why not play up this feature by wearing a gorgeous backless gown on your big day? The photos will be stunning: ask your photographer to incorporate lots of back shots into your series – you walking through the garden, you turning your head over one shoulder to make eye contact with the camera, your husband’s hand placed gently on your back…Your photos will be timeless, creative and elegant!

Back Beautification

If you plan to wear a gown that shows off your beautiful back, it’s time to get to work on making it look the best it can! It starts at the gym. Incorporate exercises into your workout routine that focus on back strength. Pilates, cardio, and yoga are all also important activities to get the back of your dreams.

Skin and hair also need to be considered: exfoliate, exfoliate, and exfoliate some more! If you can afford a professional back treatment, head to the spa a month before your wedding for your first treatment – but if you have sensitive skin, be careful! You will also need to take care of any unwanted hair – a waxing treatment 5 to 7 days before your big day will do the trick! Remember to moisturize, and if you plan to be outside during your big day, don’t forget the SPF 15!

Body Type

Remember that wearing a backless gown will limit your options when it comes to breast support. If you have a larger cup size, this could be uncomfortable, so be sure to take this into consideration! An open back dress is becoming on women of all heights. Remember to work on your posture in the months leading up to your wedding, so you look as elegant as possible!

Net Inlay

You don’t need to go completely bare. Look for a gown with a sheet net inlay, featuring elaborately jeweled designs crafted out of beadwork and Swarovski crystals. A deep cowl back is a gorgeous and slimming alternative to the traditionally fitted back, and can featured a net inlay as well.

Dramatic Back

Choosing a gown with no back is a striking and unexpected choice. Look for a full gown with a high neck and carefully opened back. Features at the top of the neck such as crystal details, bows, or buttons are all elegant ways to frame the back. Or, have a dress with a mostly open back but that features an elegant criss-cross design.

Accessorize, Accessorize!

If your gown features an open back, let your spine shine with some back bling! Necklaces designed to fall down the back are elegant and fun ways to add interest to an open-backed dress. If your hair is long, sweep it into an elegant up-do to show off the backless feature of your gown. Pearl or simple drop earrings will look stunning with this look. Consider having your bridesmaids mirror your look by wearing shorter backless bridesmaid dresses in the color of your choice.

Backless wedding dresses can be seductive and saucy, or elegant and classic! Make this look work for you. Make this look work for you by incorporating your every-day style into your look. If you are very classical in your normal dress habits, you’ll likely want a gown that mimics this look in a formal fashion. If you love to have fun with fashion and tend to choose pieces that are on the wild side, your wedding gown will likely reflect your unique style. A backless wedding gown is stunning and contemporary – your mantra? You can do it, put your back into it!
