Weddings are wrought with thousands of details that you may overlook or forget a few things. While some of these may not matter in the big picture, sure, others will make your guests unhappy. Unfortunately, after the wedding, the couple usually realizes they should have given more attention to these factors. After all, a wedding should be a satisfying and fun event for those in it and for all those who attend it.
Here is a list of the nine most common problems wedding guests complain about. We also have the solutions to each of these issues to help you handle them easily. Make sure you prioritize these potential issues when planning your wedding, and your guests will be a happy bunch.
Bridesmaids in matching outfits, and resembling big balls of cotton candy! These belong to the past. Today’s brides are smart and sensible, and want their bridesmaids to look and feel great on their big day. For this to happen, it is quintessential to toss the old rule book and make way for new rules for dressing up your bridesmaids.
So, here are few ideas that will help you dress your handpicked girls to look fabulous and add extra drama and excitement to your wedding scenery. Enjoy!
Rule 1: Mix up the textures
Here is an interesting way to give each of your bridesmaids their unique style, while keeping the look cohesive–Choose dresses in the same shade but different fabrics. With this simple switch in fabric choices, you change the overall look, but with subtlety. This option also helps brides who aren’t very sure of how to do the mix ‘n’ match concept to get it right. Dresses in the same shade but using different fabrics will easily go together, and the difference in texture will add an extra dimension of fun. Most designer collections give you plenty of colors for each design, and this allows your bridesmaids enough choices. They can choose from lace and tulle, to satin and charmeuse. Another factor is that as the fabric changes, so does the price of the dress. So, this allows your bridesmaids to choose a dress for their budget, as long as the desired color is chosen. As long as there aren’t too many accessories, it is bound to bring all the bridesmaids together. Just make sure you confirm that the dresses are of the same shade, before you give a thumbs up.
We have an example here to illustrate this idea.
Our first pick is the vintage style 8622L from the Alfred Angelo collection, in a gray color and created in soft net.
We have paired it with the 7342L from the same collection, which is an organza gown in a similar shade. Notice how the different fabrics give either dress a distinct personality, even while they come together beautifully!
Rule 2: Color block with one constant
Color blocking is an easy and uncomplicated way to bring more than one color into your bridesmaids outfits. Dressing up your bridesmaids in the same colors can resemble the original pattern of having all matching bridesmaids. This doesn’t do justice to allowing your bridesmaids shine individually. The better option is to mix up color block dresses, with different colors. However, keep one color constant throughout, so that there is a unifying factor that brings their looks together.
A dress that will work well with it is the 7345S from the same collection with a black bodice and soft beige skirt. Although distinct from the first, the black bodices are strikingly similar, and this will bind the two looks together. These dresses can be chosen in any color shade in the skirt, and so make a perfect choice to play with color blocking.
Rule 3: Neutral color dresses with accessories that pop
There are two advantages to choosing bridesmaids dresses in neutral shades—your bridesmaids are more likely to use the dress again and the colors are usually easy to mix into any color palette. White, black, brown, gray and navy are neutrals that are easy to work with and form great pairings with most color palettes. These are also shades that look good on almost every skin tone. So, your bridesmaids will not have to worry about how the color clashes with their complexion.
The result is that everyone is happy, except for one small issue; not all neutral colored dresses can make that strong presence you require for your wedding. The solution—dress it up a notch with accessories in bold colors that will not go unnoticed. Choose shoes, belts or jewelry, and it will instantly add the necessary punch of color to your bridesmaids outfits. It will certainly be a better idea than having your girls dressed in unusual colors that they may not appreciate. Since they are paired with a neutral, there is no chance of the accessories going overboard. And, how about making these your bridesmaids gifts? That way, they get to use it on your wedding day and show it off. So, you now no how to add peach, sunset yellow or bubblegum pink to your bridesmaids outfits without making your girls cringe.
Take a look at this picture to see what we mean. Here, the bridesmaids dresses are a sober beige, and a bright dose of color is added through colorful heels and bouquets. By mixing up the colors, the result is interesting and lively.

Rule 4: Neutral color dresses with zingy metal and jewel tone accessories
For an ultra-stylish and glamorous look, choose neutral colored dresses and pair it with bright and beautifully designed golden accessories. There are two benefits to this choice—your bridesmaids will most likely use the neutral dress again, and the metallic accessories will also work for them on another occasion. So it is a win-win situation, where they can get the best value for their money.
Featuring a wide cut scoop neckline, sheath silhouette and softly sculpted cap sleeves, the gown is a beauty by itself. However, pairing it with an oversize gold necklace, waistband and bracelet makes it a dress that personifies Hollywood glamour. We are sure your bridesmaids will be excited to have a look like this. With such brilliant accessories, they will have that festive dressy look, perfect for a wedding day. The best part is that the dress being in a neutral shade gives them so many options to dress it up differently on another occasion. So, it’s definitely not a dress that will be exiled to the confines of their closets after your big celebration.
Rule 5: Go to different lengths to vary the style
Of the different ways to keep a consistent look but add drama, one of our favorites is to vary the lengths of the various gowns while keeping the color or print constant. This gives you ample choice to choose dresses in lengths that suit different body shapes and ages. So, if you have bridesmaids from different age groups and looking entirely distinct, you can easily vary the look yet bring it all together with dresses of varying hemlines. We look at dresses from the Mori Lee bridesmaids collection to bring you two examples of dresses that can achieve this look effortlessly.
A full-length gown in tulle, with a sweetheart neckline and interesting criss-cross ruched bodice, this dress is elegant and looks best on both tall and short bridesmaids.
Here, we pair it with the Mori Lee 11100 from the same collection.
This dress has an illusion lace neckline and cap sleeves, and a short and fun skirt that ends a little above the knee. Although the two dresses are entirely different, they make a splendid combination because of the matching color. Hence you have suitable choices both for the women who want to look elegant and the bold and fun-loving bridesmaids in your wedding party.
Rule 6: Go from dark to light in a single color
Choose colors like red or yellow, and ask your bridesmaids to pick dresses in different shades of this color. This will keep the spectrum constant, but with interesting variation. This ombre trend has been in the limelight for a while now, and is an exciting way to dress up your bridesmaids. The only thing you should remember when choosing this option for dressing your bridesmaids, is that you should choose colors that cannot vary too much. Green, purple and blue are colors that can go totally wrong, if this happens. This is because colors like turquoise can fall into both shades, although it may look entirely different from pure shades like navy blue and mint green. So, choose colors that can vary only in the intensity of the black and white they may contain, when you choose this method.
Rule 7: One color with different prints
Printed bridesmaids dresses are interesting and exciting. While you may be tempted to choose the same prints for all your bridesmaids, it is a better idea to look around and find dresses in the same color with different prints instead. This will add a subtle variation to the look, and each bridesmaid will be unique in her own way. The unifying factor will be the color that all the dresses feature, and this is all that is required to bring the overall look together. You can also consider mixing up dresses that have prints all over with those where the prints are limited to chosen areas on the dress, like the yoke or hemline. Here are two dresses from the Jadore collection. The first is the J6013 from the Jadore collection, with black prints on a beige base.
In this option, your job is relatively easy. All you have to do is finalize a color and choose one plain and one printed bridesmaid dress in it. Alternate this choice for your bridesmaids, so you have equal numbers wearing the plain colored dress, and the same number wearing printed dresses. By keeping the designs uniform and the hemlines of both styles the same, the entire group looks well coordinated and classy.
Here is a wedding party that has achieved this result with alternate plain and printed purple dresses.

The printed purple dresses feature very subtle white floral prints all over the length of the gown. The dresses blend well with the plain purple dresses that the rest of the bridesmaids wear. What we specifically loved about this combination is that the plain dresses are not exactly similar, each one features a different neckline. Thus we can safely conclude that each bridesmaid has her distinct style of dress, and yet gels in with the group seamlessly.
Rule 9: Add variety with infinity dresses
Infinity dresses are basically dresses that can be worn in various different styles. It is the true convertible dress. Here, the fabric left in the neckline and bodice to be wrapped in different ways to yield different looks. By draping the top half of the dress in different ways, you can achieve different necklines like the one-shoulder strap, strapless neckline, cap-sleeve look and more. This dress allows each of your bridesmaids to wear the style that flatters her most. Hence, it is versatile and everyone ends up happy. With this choice, you play it safe by choosing the same color for all. Even so, each has her personal style enhanced with a suitable pattern.
Rule 10: Same style, different prints
We have seen prints and plains as well as textures in the same color and pattern. Now, the only one left to experiment with is prints in the same pattern. This is a fun and exciting way to make your bridesmaids stand out from the rest of the crowd. Printed dresses make them look different from typical bridesmaids, but the unifying design brings the entire party together instantly. Here is a sample.

In this picture, the pretty bridesmaids sport strapless dresses with vibrant prints. The hemline is uniform, and ends at mid-thigh. The dress also features a bow detail at the waistline, making all three dresses unusually cohesive.
We have often talked about the importance of choosing a wedding dress that flatters your body shape. While you should make this a priority for an amazing bridal look, there are more dress aspects that you should pay attention to.
After the silhouette, the next most important factor that can make or break your wedding day look is the neckline. Since the neckline sits so close to the face, you should get it right. The right neckline will enhance your facial features and balance out the proportions of your neck and shoulders.
The dress neckline is a major style factor that determines the overall impact of a dress. Thus, you can easily tie your look to the wedding theme by choosing the right wedding dress neckline that complements it.
Join me as I take a look at the all-time favorites in bridal gown necklines for different body types, in the dresses from our collection at Best for Bride. As we explore this dress feature in detail in various dress styles, don’t forget to make a note of your favorites for when you go wedding dress shopping!
Trending and glamorous off-the-shoulder neckline
Immortalized in classic fairy tales like Beauty and the Beast, this timeless favorite has been an ongoing hit in the wedding world. It has a playful vibe, even while it is feminine and classic. This neckline bares the shoulders, as it extends across the bust and fits along the arms. The best thing about the off-the-shoulder neckline is that it looks good with sleeves of any length. Additionally, it looks amazing on most types of fabric including lace. Take a look at this article on the Brides website for more insight into this wedding dress feature.
The off-the-shoulder neckline suits most body types, except the inverted triangle. The pear-shaped body has a heavy and broad upper torso, that is best camouflaged for a balanced look. Unfortunately, the off-the-shoulder neckline draws attention to this very area. Hence it is best avoided by brides with this body type. Similarly it doesn’t flatter women with thick and short necks, as it draws attention to this part of their body.
The dress seen here is from the Sans Pareil collection. The pairing of its off-the-shoulder neckline with cap sleeves and a thick ball gown skirt creates a silhouette that has signature fairytale charm.
Glamorous and stylish single shoulder strap
The one-shoulder neckline is an asymmetrical dress element that instantly enhances the glamour quotient of the dress. It features just one shoulder strap, while the other side has a strapless neckline detail. It reminds us of Grecian goddesses and it is a statement element in a bridal look. Dresses with single-shoulder draping or straps are widely favored for destination weddings, as the impact of this element is just right for a beach wedding.
One-shoulder wedding gowns can have a draped single-shoulder detail, or it may present as a simple shoulder strap that extends the strapless style. The asymmetrical nature of this style element doesn’t suit the inverted body type as it draws focus to the chest and decolletage. Since it highlights the neck, it is also best avoided by brides with thick necks and no distinct collar bones.
The dress in the image above is from the Sophia Tolli collection. Paired with a mermaid silhouette, this dress brings together many elements that look great in a beach ambiance. It is also glamorous, with its lush scattering of embellishments. This renders it ideal for an opulent theme as well.
Classic scoop for all body types
Simple but universally flattering, the scoop or round neckline suits almost every body type. The depth of this neckline can range from high to low, and its effect varies accordingly. The scoop is a naturally rounded shape, and according to the dimensions, it takes can enhance the body features of the bride. While a low-cut scoop draws attention to shapely collar bones and the neck, a high scoop conceals this area. When cut low, the scoop will reveal a hint of cleavage and accentuate the sex appeal of the dress.
Featured in this picture is a Sans Pareil wedding gown with wide scoop neckline, that frames a sweetheart bodice. The rounded nature of the neckline creates a balanced look and draws attention to the collar bones, neck and chin. This type of neckline when combined with sleeves is naturally slimming. It diverts attention upwards from the waist and hips, hence making it a good choice for apple and pear-shaped brides. Scoop necklines with half-length sleeves can make a thin bride look very slim, and are best avoided by rectangle-shaped body types.
Never-fail V-neckline
The V-neckline may have risen and fallen in terms of depth over the years. However it is still going strong in the wedding fashion scene. There is a subtle sexy element attached to this neckline, whether it is kept high or low. This is probably why it is a favorite choice for many brides.
In recent years, the V-neckline has plunged low to reveal more than what can is a modest dose of cleavage. Many bold brides who want to show off their bold and confident style in their wedding dress choice have embraced this trend. Whether paired with long sleeves, straps or barely-there sleeves, the V-neckline is a romantic and feminine style element with few contenders.
Here is a Mori lee wedding dress with cap sleeves that continue into a splendid V-neckline. The textured bodice with heavily embellished lace extends into a V-neckline that is both charming and sexy.
Bateau neckline that works for all
Shaped like a boat, the bateau neckline is a universal favorite that flatters all body types. This style extends from one shoulder to the other, barely revealing the collar bones. Although the neckline is modest, it is elegant and sophisticated. The only issue with this dress feature is that it draws attention to the neck. So, it is best avoided if you have a thick neck area and your collar bones aren’t visible. Also the raised nature of this neckline enhances the bust area. Hence, you may wish to avoid this neckline if you have a large bust and do not wish to draw attention to this part of your body. On the contrary, this neckline is well-suited for brides with small or average busts as it emphasizes these proportions.
This Sans Pareil dress features a bateau neckline over a sweetheart bodice with T-shirt sleeves. The neckline adds a demure, feminine touch to the classic wedding gown and draws attention to the facial features. This neckline is also a good option to consider if you want to avoid a necklace but draw focus to a pair of stunning earrings in your outfit.
All-time favorite—the sweetheart
The sweetheart neckline is feminine and romantic. It closely follows the contours of the bust and resembles the upper half of a heart shape. There is a dip in the center, and the depth of it determines the amount of cleavage that it reveals. Sweetheart necklines are a bridal favorite, and are popular in many bridal collections. This neckline detail may come with straps or hold up on its own. The final look is very different in either case. This style looks best on women with average bust sizes, as it is revealing on women with heavy tops. It doesn’t always sit well on women with small busts. Since this type of neckline reveals the neck and decolletage, it draws attention to the upper torso. However, the extent of embellishments will also determine the overall impact of this neckline.
Here is a Sans Pareil wedding dress which features a classic sweetheart neckline. You can see how the embellishments on it add to the texture and beautifully complement the fitted waistband. The upper half of the dress is just as appealing as the elaborate peplum lace details and the heavily layered skirt that it continues into.
Retro-inspired halter neckline
Although the halter doesn’t work well for all body types, it is a style element with no parallel. This dress style exudes confidence and is youthful and exciting. The factor that it offers modest coverage in the front, only to reveal an open back makes it unusually charming. In the absence of sleeves and shoulder straps, the top is held up by straps that fasten at the back of the neck.
This dress feature works wonders for hourglass and straight body types. However it is best avoided by pear-shaped women. This is because the neckline doesn’t look good on narrow shoulders. It further accentuates the effect of the hips and makes the rounded nature of this area very obvious. It is difficult to pair this neckline with a bra. Hence, you should consider this factor when choosing this dress style.
The beautiful Mori Lee dress in the image here has pretty illusion details on a halter neckline. The embellishments are very bridal and add a feminine touch to the dress style.
The elusive illusion neckline
There is an unbeatable charm for a sheer neckline embellished with scintillating embroidery and lace effects. Illusion necklines are very popular in the bridal world, for they have a soft charm and the embellishments add sparkle to the bridal look. Illusion necklines are often seen over a sweetheart or strapless bodice, and draw attention to the neck and decolletage area. Although they offer coverage, they are distinctly sexy and feminine. This type of neckline is universally flattering and is suitable for women of all shapes and sizes. It can also come with or without sleeves, and the effect is dramatically different in each case.
This neckline can take on any shape, including the bateau and scoop. The best thing about this style is that the simple presence of a layer or sheer renders a strapless dress suitable for a traditional wedding setting. Hence, church wedding brides often prefer this neckline over a strapless gown. Take a look at this article on the Bridal Extravaganza Show to understand why this style is huge in wedding fashion.
Notice how the ethereal illusion neckline layer adds sophistication and charm to this beautiful Sans Pareil dress seen here! What could look like another sweetheart ball gown receives a dose of modesty as well as sparkle with the simple addition of an illusion layer that extends into soft cap sleeves.
While the previous dress had simple illusion details, here is one that stands out. This dress from the Mori Lee collection features an illusion layer over a sweetheart bodice. The sheer fabric is richly embellished with a fine scattering of jewels. You can also see how the strategic placement of the details in the neckline eliminates the need for a necklace.
While there are more necklines like the portrait, Queen Anne, strapless and square styles, the ones we discussed here have been quite popular on the wedding fashion scene over the last couple of years. As the modern bride’s interests change over time, so does her choices in various dress features. Nonetheless, some trends stand the test of time, and the necklines we discussed fit the bill.
It is your turn now, so tell us which of these necklines is your favorite in the comments section below.

Over the years, we have seen several trends come and go. While we are sincerely glad that some of them have left the scene, we think there are others that should transcend the realm of trends and deserve to become classics!
Fantastic back details on wedding dresses are one such trend, that we would really be sorry to see disappear. Ever since the illusion style entered the wedding scene, there’s been no stopping it. Dresses with illusion necklines are simply stunning, but ones with illusion backs are even more enchanting. An illusion back gives a dress an unusually attractive appeal, and favors the bride as that one detail that guests won’t miss when she stands with her back to them during the ceremony. Then, there are also tastefully cut-out wedding dress backs and those with exquisite details decorating it. These dresses are masterpieces not only from the front, but also from the back.
Fortunately, many brides are still smitten by this beautiful and interesting detail to wedding dresses, and designers spend effort and energy in coming up with these beautiful elements.
We’ve done a post previously on dresses with fantastic back details, and have seen how much you all loved it. So, for those of you who really enjoyed it, here are some more wedding dresses that are pure eye-candy just for the back details they possess. Have fun looking at them.
This Mori Lee 2789 from the Fall 2015 collection is a splendid example of a dress with intricate back details. Contrast beading along the center of the sheer back and neck craft a statement look, while the fabric is almost transparent against the skin. The design at the back provides additional support to the bust area, and this makes it comfortable to wear throughout the day. In the front is a similar illusion effect, with the scoop neckline fashioned into an almost necklace-like design with elaborate beading that gently spans the entire neckline length. This dress will save the bride from searching for a necklace, as the design will itself cover this requirement. The sleeveless look and sweetheart bodice make it a stunning beauty, while the fit and flare silhouette is elongating and allows a bride to show off her hourglass figure to the fullest.
Another stunning beauty from the Mori Lee Fall collection, this dress is different in that it possesses a beautiful keyhole design that is fashioned out of delicate and dainty lace details. Nobody would ever imagine that the beautiful and modest V-neckline in the front would hold this stunning composition at the back. Notice how it draws attention to your slender and well-toned back! Some dresses are like that, it is the additional mystery of the unexpected that makes it extraordinary. Alencon lace forms the border of the keyhole back here, and the details are both intricate and feminine. The keyhole design is prominent, yet modest due to the addition of the buttoned detail at the neckline. So, for the rebel bride in you, who has to cover up her shoulders for a traditional wedding, this wedding dress may be the outlet for your bold streak. Once again in a fit and flare silhouette, this dazzling beauty features pearl and crystal beading along the V-neckline in the front. These sparkling elements contrast beautifully with the white fabric beneath it, making it a glamorous gown. It also features a scalloped hemline.
A destination wedding doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style because of the difficulty of transporting your wedding dress. This Mori Lee 6805 belongs to the Voyage collection—dresses perfect for a wedding abroad. The fabric is light and airy, and easy to carry, and the details are just right to make it a comfortable wedding dress. This dress features a modest-cut V-neckline in the front, but the beautifully cut V at the back is the main factor that attracts us to the gown. The V is fashioned out of ruchings all the way from the sleeveless neckline to the waist, where there is a splendid waistband that enhances the slim waistline. A few fabric covered buttons are all it takes to add a classic touch to this elegant gown. In the front, the beautiful V-neckline is formed of a ruched criss-cross pattern that crosses at the center. We can imagine how beautiful a demure bride would look in this feminine wedding gown, whether she gets married on the beach or at in indoor venue.
4.Jasmine T172018
Our next pick is this couture gown from the Jasmine Spring 2015 collection. This gown fits the saying that appearances can be deceptive. From the front, it is an interesting halter neckline style gown with illusion style details spreading over the sweetheart bodice. Turn around, and Voila! Here is something we least expected to see. A sexy back is revealed, with beautiful French leavers sparkling all the way down from the high neck band to the waistline where the fabric levels out at the back. With an A-line skirt that is a universally flattering fit for brides of any body type, this is a dress that will be suitable for almost any bride, and will be one that captures the hearts of everyone. It is in fact, what you should look at, when you want a dress with a unique style statement. So, what do you say? Would you love to try this dress on?
5.Jasmine T172013
Now, what if you have worked very hard to tone your figure to look perfect, and want to showcase your back; even highlight it a little? This Jasmine T172013 couture gown is the perfect choice to get this right. With a barely there illusion back detail wrapping around the edges of your back, it is a dress that immediately draws attention. Along the sheer length of fabric are tiny embedded rhinestones adding extra texture, and enhancing the beauty of your back. As this sheer layer drapes around the rest of your dress fabric, it stands out creating a stunning silhouette. Combine it with a classic hairstyle like in the picture, so there is nothing to interfere with the view of your back, and you have a dress that is sure to enrapture everyone. The pretty lace motifs that span the length of the skirt and the tastefully decorated scalloped hemline are all added details that make this dress a gown par excellence!
Here is a wedding gown from the Alfred Angelo 2015 bridal collection, that is as beautiful from the back, as it is from the front. The sheer yoke on the back is a flourish of intricate details with beads and crystals. The embellishments wind along the central string of fabric buttons, and also continue along the neckline towards the front of the dress. The result is a stunning design that stands out like no other. So, if your guests think that the embellished cap sleeves and gently curved V-neckline in the front are exquisite, just wait till they see the back details. We are sure you’ll see quite a few jaws dropping. Make sure you choose a beautiful hair up do, so you can show off the back details very well.
Satin dresses are usually famous for the stylish design they feature in the front. Here is a dress that continues to stun with an even more attractive back. The high bateau neckline in the front leads into an unexpected plunging deep V at the back with a matching drape and superb bow detail. The fabric covered buttons that continue all the way to the derriere only enhance the charm further. This is like a dress that never ceases to surprise. We are immensely impressed, and are sure that your wedding guests will also be, as they gaze at you from the back during your wedding ceremony and reception.
Here is a wedding dress that makes quite a statement when viewed from the back. A slithering fabric button train weaves its way down the neckline towards the derriere and culminates in a fantastic layered skirt that softly flows to floor length. We love the way the bodice continues into the sheer yoke with a border of beautiful floral motifs that encircle an almost transparent keyhole. With the sheer fabric across the keyhole barely visible, it is almost as if the floral lace appliques cling to the natural skin of the bride. It is a work of art, no doubt about it!
From the gorgeous Sophia Tolli Fall 2015 collection, here we bring you a majestic taffeta trumpet dress with a stunning back design. Hand beaded lace appliques with delightful floral details, surround the lovely keyhole cut-out in the back. The way the lace appliques thin into a strand that extends into the beautiful chapel train is simply splendid. From the front, the dress is just as interesting, with similar lace appliques wrapping around the bodice and the sleeves, and featuring a barely-there sheer neckline. The combination of lace over the draped silky satin makes this dress a pure stunner. The asymmetrical one-sided draping also creates a slimmer silhouette and it is stylish and elegant from every angle.
Another dazzling beauty from the Sophia Tolli Fall collection, the Brandyn is a dress that looks as beautiful as the winter scene itself. The sheer back bodice is strewn with sparkling snowflake-like crystal details and although it has an open back, there is a classic and timeless elegance to it. The front features an illusion bateau neckline with cap sleeves wrapping around a sweetheart bodice. Just as we can see in the back, the elaborate vintage-inspired embroidery details extend up to the waistline. From here, delicate white Aurora chiffon cascades down to full-length, pooling into a chapel length train that is foamy and airy. The richly pleated skirt has a pristine and perfect beauty, and it is a stunning example of a gown perfect for a winter wedding.
This dress from the Sophia Tolli Fall 2015 collection packs an impact from every angle, with it’s simple but tasteful design. A perfect choice for a modest look, but one that is still memorable because of how beautifully it is done, this wedding gown has a semi-sheer back that is richly decorated with specks of snowy flakes that blast all over the bodice in the back. There is a slender fabric button train that ends in a basque waistline at the back, and there is a small band of scintillating elements adding extra dimension. Equally mesmerizing from the front, the dress features semi-sheer cap sleeves with rich embellishments framing a sweetheart bodice. At the waist is a delicate but dainty brooch that emphasizes the slender natural waist of the bride. Layers of snowy white tulle gently flow towards the ground, making this dress a wonderful choice for any wedding day.
