Today, brides have so many beautiful options in terms of their wedding gown styles and in this guide; we’re going to take a look at some stunning gowns with incredible backs. Daring or demure: choose one of the following styles to suit your personality.

The Criss Cross back

The criss cross back is a sweet and feminine detail that can suit almost any kind of wedding gown. You could choose this wedding gown back style even if you opt for short or tea length dresses. This Claire Pettitbone 2012 dress has drama, elegance and sex appeal and can be combined with sequins or floral embellishments as seen. When you walk down the aisle in this gown, you will certainly look great from every angle and leave your guests with tons to discuss!

The Keyhole Back

This is another trendy wedding gown back style which is going nowhere any time soon. We think this dreamy gown from the Elizabeth Fillmore Spring 2013 collection slinks perfectly over the feminine form.

Almost Backless Wedding Dresses

Few gown styles can make a more dramatic statement than the backless ones. You need not choose the complete backless variety; rather go in for the more modest cuts like the one below designed by Christos Costarellos. It allows you to show off a little skin without exposing the entire back.

 The Cowl Back

The cowl back is another popular wedding gown back style which is lightweight, simple and elegant. Your guests will surely admire your dress as you turn to take your vows or twirl around on the dance floor. We love this Garbo Silk wedding dress pictured below with chiffon cowl and cute buttons.

The Embellished Back

A unique bejewelled back with beads, tassels or Swarovski elements will surely cause a stir as you turn around to say your vows. Romantic, elegant and sexy; the bejewelled back on this Claire Pettibone runway number is hands down a top favourite of ours. Alternatively, you could go in for a halter neckline with a beaded racer back.
