When it comes to choosing the perfect wedding dress, most brides focus on the front of the gown, but the back can be equally as exciting!
As you walk down the aisle or share your first dance, the back of your bridal gown becomes a stunning focal point for all to see.
From romantic illusion backs to dramatic plunging designs, there are endless ways to make a statement from behind. In this blog, I'm going to explore the most beautiful and unique back details on bridal gowns, helping you find the perfect style to turn heads from every angle on your big day.
ILLUSION
Sheer fabric with lace or beaded appliqués creates a magical, floating effect on the back of the gown.
Perfect for brides who want a mix of coverage and allure. Illusion backs add romance and intricacy to a dress without feeling too heavy.
LOW/PLUNGING
Deep V or U-shaped backs for a daring, yet elegant statement.
A stunning way to show off some skin while maintaining a sophisticated bridal look. Ideal for summer or destination weddings.
KEYHOLE
A back with a cut-out or keyhole shape.
This style blends classic and contemporary vibes, offering a unique focal point without being too revealing.
BUTTONS
A row of delicate buttons, often extending down to the train.
A timeless and elegant detail that adds a vintage or classic feel to the gown, with a sense of tradition and refinement.
LACE/ BEADED EMBELLISHMENTS
Intricate beading or lace embellishments that create a sparkling effect down the back of the gown.
Beaded backs add glamour and drama to the bridal look, especially for evening or black-tie weddings, catching the light as the bride walks.
STATEMENT BOW
Large, dramatic bows or cascading trains that add volume and elegance to the back.
Perfect for brides looking to make a grand statement, these features ensure all eyes are on you as you walk down the aisle.
STRAPPY BACK
Thin, decorative straps arranged in a unique design across the back.
For the modern bride looking for something less traditional, strappy backs add a playful and contemporary twist to a gown.
CORSET
Lace-up backs that can be adjusted for a perfect, customized fit.
Not only visually striking, but corset backs also provide structure and support, making the dress more comfortable while creating a beautiful silhouette.
OPEN BACK
Gowns with fully open backs, often with minimal or no detailing.
Bold and modern, an open back is perfect for brides seeking a minimalist look with maximum impact, especially in sleek or slip-style dresses.
As you can see, the back of your wedding gown is just as important as the front, offering endless opportunities to showcase your personal style.
Remember, as you walk down the aisle, dance with your partner, and share those precious moments, the back of your gown will be on full display—so choose a design that makes you feel confident, beautiful, and unforgettable...
Those lovely brides who have already had an appointment with me, will know that I think
'your wedding day is all about feeling amazing from every angle!'
