Wedding Dresses That Are Even More Gorgeous From the Back

Wedding Dresses even more Prettier from the Back

The best bridal Gowns with beautiful backs from fall 2016 bridal fashion week.

Bridal Fashion Week offered up countless exciting options for wedding dresses: Off-the-shoulder sleeves, crop tops, slinky sheath silhouettes, and, one of our favorite trends, totally unique backs.

The idea behind a statement wedding dress back seems like a no-brainer. As a bride walks down the ceremony aisle, it gives wedding guests something gorgeous to look at (in addition to a veil or train). It also provides a divine counterpart to plunging V-neck gowns and adds intrigue to what might otherwise be an understated design from the front. Last season, we noticed a proliferation of open backs framed with lace. It was a simply stunning keyhole style that was re-imagined in this season’s new collections, with fashion houses taking embellished back views to the next level. We were dazzled by backs featuring illusion netting, tulle flowers, sparkly beading, decadent appliqués, and more. Even the understated offerings, like this elegant Monique Lhuillier creation, felt completely novel. The gown has sophisticated and bold silk straps that create a visual treat, especially when paired with that dreamy tulle train.
