One of the fastest growing trends in  wedding dresses is the Backless Wedding Dress.  They are classy with that touch of sex appeal!

Backless wedding dresses make a statement about sophistication, style, and sex appeal like no other dress or accessory can. If you have fair skin, chose a white or cream dress, and if you have a darker skin tone choose one that shimmers or is done in a champagne or metallic color so that it glimmers next to your skin. You’ll want to choose the gown that best compliments your skin tone because you’ll be showing a lot of it. Following are some of the most stunning backless dresses of the year.

The Tiffany by Karen Willis Holmes is breathtaking in its 1930s vintage beauty. Made in silk satin, this gown features a low back and a draped cowl neckline on both the front and back to give it gorgeous symmetry that shows on all aspects of the gown. It is tied at the waist with a satin belt and the long skirt flows into small train. The covered buttons on the back of the bodice peek through the cowl drapery to add a peek-a-boo detail that will not go unnoticed. For the perfect vintage feel, pair this with jewels and pull your hair up in finger waves or pin curs and a large jeweled comb or fascinator.

If vintage isn’t your thing, take a look at the Ugena by Pronovias. This gown has glitz and glam, as well as a backless look. This sheath dress flares out a bit as it reaches the floor and the entire dress is covered in sequins and beads. The tank top style straps become sheer as they go over the shoulder and fall into draping tulle at the back. The open back goes into a deep “v” shape that compliments the shape of the bead work. While most backless dresses look best with hair pulled up and no veil covering it, this dress would look amazing with hair left down falling into soft waves or even a very long veil that moves so the dress can be seem underneath. Keep the jewelry simple and let the dress do all of the sparkling for you.

Maggie Soterro knows glamor, and the Orianna by the well-known and risk-taking designer is nothing short of fabulous. It may be seem simple to the bride who wants drama, but to the bride that knows drama can be achieved in a dress without a lot of fuss, this dress is perfect. This sheath dress in satin, is made elegant with jewels at the shoulder and a deep “v” shaped back that is also adorned with jewels. This is also another backless dress where wearing your hair down is the way to go.

If you aren’t sure about going with a dress that has no back at all, this chic gown by Mariana Hardwick may be the answer for you. It has a mostly backless look with the edges of the dress being adorned in beads and crystals in a flower pattern and it’s closed with a zipper. The train comes out from the back in a mermaid or fishtail style to add to the view from behind. From the front, the dress is adorned with the same beading and the sleeves are capped with sheer tulle. The fabric of the gown is twisted in a simple knot style at the bust and the whole look of the gown is simply chic, with simple lines and the perfect amount of adornment. This dress is best paired with simple diamond jewelry to compliment the bead work and low high-heel shoes. Pull your hair back and up to show off the details without your hair getting in the way.
