Bridal dresses come in all colors, sizes and styles. It is not only very important to find a dress with the right fit; also don’t forget to look at the back of the dress. Do you want a sexy open back, or do you prefer it closed? Do you want a tattoo effect or maybe a keyhole back? If you need inspiration for choosing the right back for your wedding dress; then read on!
1. The tattoo effect back
With these kind of wedding dresses you see that the back is completely covered with often skin-colored or ivory-colored tulle. Then on the tulle, lace appliques or strips make it look like you have a lace “tattoo” on your back.
This beautiful technique ensures that your back is not too exposed, but covered without looking too massive. These dresses can often only be made with buttons and a zipper, because the tulle is not strong enough to hold a lace-up closure.
2. The Keyhole Back
This kind of back often provides coverage, but still shows a little bit of your back. The wedding dress often has one or more round openings on the back of the dress, where the fabric in the neck comes together again. These types of openings can be made from lace, but also from tulle.
By opting for a “keyhole back”, your wedding dress does not seem too covering, but you can still cover your “problem zones”.
This beautiful back type is suitable for everyone, but is often chosen by women who do not like their lower back or shoulder blades. This is of course unnecessary, but it still gives you a little bit of extra confidence, while you don’t have to expose yourself completely.
3. The Racerback Back
This kind of back looks a bit like a keyhole, but is slightly different. The opening on the back is longer, and not quite round. The fabric in the neck also comes together. Two straps cover the back, in between the shoulder blades.
This kind of back creates length. It’s a very sexy back that goes perfectly with a slit at the front of your wedding dress.
4. The back with jewelry
Nothing is as classy as bling-bling at your wedding. Look elegant by choosing a dress with jewelry on the back. For example, you can opt for beautiful beads that run over the back. Choose matching necklaces and earrings to complete your elegant look.
5. The lace back
A much sought after trend in the bridal fashion world lately is dresses with transparent lace backs. This Bohemian trend often includes flowy, light dresses. The back of the dress is often high-necked and made entirely of lace. This trend can also be applied well when you have a fall wedding. Style with black boots and hat, and you’re ready to get married!
6. The back with decorative lace
Another bohemian wedding dress trend that we still see often is the decorative lace. This includes a lace up on the back, and sometimes over the other cut-outs on the dress, which are purely for show. So they do not have the function of reinforcing the dress. The lace creates a sexy lingerie look, that will steal the show at your wedding!
