On your big day, all eyes will be on you and your groom, but during the ceremony, you'll be spending a good amount of time facing the altar with your back toward your guests. However, by wearing a wedding gown with dramatic details at the back, this side of you will also be a sight to behold.
Women throughout the ages have made statements with the backs of their dresses (whether bridal or not). In the olden days, special events could be identified by how long the trains were on the women's dresses; today, a dress highlighting the back is still a good way to command attention. The midnight blue backless gown Hilary Swank donned at the Oscar's of 2005 got a lot of media attention, and who can forget Princess Diana's seven-meter-long bridal train?
Some of the real brides we've featured wore wedding gowns with remarkable details on the back. View the gallery below to find inspiration from these outstanding creations.
