10 Backless Wedding Dresses That Are Just WOW

With the new dawn of working out to achieve the perfect hourglass body, and extreme body confidence that goes with it as a result, comes an obsession with beautiful backless wedding dresses! Celebrities such as Love Island’s Olivia Buckland and Britain’s beloved Princess Eugenie have showcased this modern, sexy style; it’s easy to see why they favour it – and we do too! Here are 10 backless wedding dresses that are just WOW!

1) Thin Straps

Olivia Buckland wore a dramatic backless dress with thin straps by Enzoani for her wedding to Alex Bowen in 2018. With its elegant lace, sweeping train and minutely thin straps sitting gently along the back, levying into a waist-cinching V shape, this dress is a winner! The dainty buttons along the lower back add a hint of vintage glamour to this stunning modern gown. What a dream!

2) Keyhole

This is a great option if you’d like to showcase your smooth, toned back without displaying the entirety of it. This is a beautiful, intricate looking choice, with the keyhole design adding a little interest; it’s something different!

3) Lace, Lace, Lace

Opting for pretty lace on your backless dress is a great way of mixing the traditional elegance that lace is known for, with the modern sexiness of backless wedding dresses.

4) Princess for a Day

The ball gown silhouette is unusual as far as backless wedding dresses go. This is the perfect choice if you’re aiming to achieve a classic, princess aesthetic, with a sexy, contemporary twist!

5) Buttons Galore

Buttons are a beautiful addition to any dress, as they add a hint of effortless refinement. However, they look particularly exquisite on backless wedding dresses, as they sit ravishingly along the fleshy tone of the back, making the overall look soft and delicate.

6) Off The Shoulder

If you’d love to look like a fairy princess straight out of Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, then this is the one for you! The off the shoulder look, coupled with the backless aesthetic, results in a sumptuous, bohemian fantasy.

7) Figure Hugging Good

A low back and an open back are two different things; both are serene and backless, but one is more daring and revealing than the other. An open back is entirely open and perfectly figure-hugging – snugly gripping each contour of the lower back, making the dress appear like part of the body. If you have tons of confidence and want to flaunt the bod, then this is the dress for you!

8) Sleeves

Sometimes, it’s nice to choose between backless and sleeveless, instead of both. Having long or three-quarter sleeves on your backless wedding dress will put more attention of the back, making it the sole focal point. The sleeves will also levy gracefully into the open back, and give your dress a different look from the front and back. What can be better than a two in one wedding dress!

9) Illusion

Keep ’em guessing with the illusion back! The illusion style has been growing in popularity in recent years, both for necklines and backs. This style is great if you dream of wearing a modern backless wedding dress, but you still want to keep it traditional with a hint of orthodox coverage and the added advantage of delicate applique or button details on the back.

10) Strapless

If you want to go all out and bear it all for your wedding day (considering it is the biggest day of your life!), you could opt for a backless, strapless sensation that is sure to be remembered and get your guests talking for months!
