Tips for Selecting the Perfect Wedding Dress with an Open Back

Before you shop, consider where you’re getting married and make sure the place of worship or venue does not have a specific dress code.

Some religious weddings call for a bit more modesty. In some cases, you may be able to wear a wedding dress with an open back if you cover up for the ceremony in a bolero, sweater, pashmina, or veil to conceal your back during the ceremony. Or you can simply choose a wedding dress that covers your back and shoulders and then you won’t have to worry about keeping your back concealed.

If there’s no specific dress code to follow and you love the style, go for it! Choose any of the beautiful backless wedding dresses shown below and rock that look.
