Instead of adding fabric to the backs of gowns to make a statement, designers opted to take a bit away during this season's NY Bridal Fashion Week. The result? Stunning exit looks that feel more modern without trailing trains.
To up the wow factor, these antique lace and fresh floral illusion backs were always coupled with short hair or a chic updo. (So if you're dead-set on wearing your hair down on your big day this trend may not be for you.)

Look's like Bella's wedding dress from Breaking Dawn sparked a trend!

My dress is the second dress by Reem Acra. I believe "she's" called Morelle and quite frankly...I love her, ha.
