Aisle Style: Bow Back Wedding Dresses
Bridal Market 2014 is in full swing and we've adored seeing the new wedding dresses for 2014 on Pinterest and Instagram. It gives us fond memories of all the 2013 wedding dress trends we hope will stick around into the next wedding season. From vintage glam wedding dresses to Gatsby inspired beauties, the resurgence of the illusion neckline and our unwavering love for colored wedding dresses (or better yet colored sequin wedding dresses). But one of our favorite wedding dress details that barely qualifies as a trend (yes, it's that classic) is the bow back wedding dress. We love the look of a gorgeous bow trailing down the back of a wedding dress, or cinching a low v back wedding gown. We even love dainty little bows in succession along a t strap wedding dress! You can't go wrong with this uber feminine detail (some might argue it was perfected by the King of feminine glam design Oscar de la Renta). Read on for our favorite bow back wedding dresses.
Rosa Clara Chachemir
This beautiful gown is fit for a princess with a bateau neckline, wide straps and a dropped waist. Mikado silk draped out in a gorgeous ball gown silhouette, and our favorite detail, naturally, is the open back cinched by two sweet bows and a short row of hook and eye buttons.
Inbal Dror
This dress from Inbal Dror's Paris 2013 collection is sheer sexy glamour from the Golden Age. Pearl straps drape across the illusion neckline to fall loosely down the gown's open back to be tied in a chiffon bow. And we're mildly obsessed with the draped sleeves.
Jim Hjelm
If you're looking for the perfect woodland fairy princess gown, look no further. Jim Hjelm has you covers with layers and layers of frothy tulle layered over a slim organza skirt. So you get the fluffy look without adding major pounds of material, all the better for you to twirl through open fields of wildflowers. Or, you know, your dance floor.
Galia Lahav
Galia Lahav nails out of this world over the top wedding dresses. Nearly every time. Such an example is this draped illusion back beauty with a massive train and a bow accent where the train gathers. We love the slightly lower bow placement to draw attention to a perfectly toned bum (hey, gotta play up your best assets on your wedding day!)
Galia Lahav Valentina
Another gown, this insanely embroidered organza gown is an over the top take on The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding gown. With a crepe corset bodice and an embellished belt, the back features one small bow that doesn't take away from the rest of this richly embellished gown.
