5 Reasons To Wear A Strapless Wedding Gown On Your Big Day

  

  

A strapless wedding gown is a popular choice for many brides on their wedding day – there are more styles of strapless wedding gowns available at online bridal boutiques and traditional bridal salons than almost any other style. Selecting a strapless wedding gown is something many brides do for various reasons, and here are five reasons you should jump on the strapless bandwagon!

To Show Off Your Toned Shoulders

A strapless wedding gown is the best kind of dress to show off perfectly toned and tanned shoulders. If you have great shoulders and a gorgeous collarbone, a strapless wedding dress is definitely a style you should consider for the big day. Whether you choose a straight strapless, a sweetheart neckline or even a strapless halter top dress, you’ll be able to draw attention to your shoulders and back, while drawing attention away from your trouble spots, like your tummy or rear. Here’s a tip to make your shoulders look incredible in a strapless gown – dust a little bit of bronzer and shimmer over your collarbone and shoulders to help reflect light. You’ll look great!

To Draw Attention To A Gorgeous Updo

Many brides choose to wear their hair in an expertly crafted updo on their wedding day and this is a simply classic and timeless look. However, some styles of wedding gowns just don’t highlight a great updo as well as others. If you’re planning on getting your hair put up and are wearing a tiara or other type of special hair piece, a strapless wedding gown is exactly what you need to show off your look and draw attention to your hair.

To Highlight Heirloom Or Special Jewelry

If you’re going to wear a special necklace, earrings or tiara, a gown with an intricate neckline may distract guests (and your husband to be) from gazing at your sparkly things. However, you can keep your guests eyes on your jewelry by selecting a strapless wedding gown! A strapless dress will leave your chest bare enough to show off a gorgeous necklace, or a pair of perfect chandelier earrings. Just remember – you don’t want to pair a heavy necklace with dangly earrings, because it will overwhelm your overall look and your guests won’t know where to focus their attention on. Accessorize your strapless wedding gown with either an intricate necklace or a pair of chandelier earrings (both of which look great with a well done updo), or pair heavy earrings with a dainty necklace or a detailed necklace with small, dainty earrings. Remember that you want your strapless wedding dress to highlight your jewelry, but you don’t want your jewelry to take away from your gorgeous strapless gown!

To Create A Sleek, Modern Look

Strapless wedding gowns are one of the better styles of dresses to select if the theme of your wedding is sleek and modern. Many brides are going for a “chic” look, and are carrying this theme from the ceremony all the way to the reception with simple but classic details. You can bring the modern, o your ceremony by selecting a strapless wedding gown with a clean look, such as a strapless neckline paired with a perfect A-line skirt. Strapless wedding gowns are an excellent choice for both formal and informal weddings, as well as weddings that take place at all times during the year. For an informal outdoor wedding in spring, consider choosing a tea length strapless gown, and for a formal indoor wedding during the cooler months, select a strapless wedding gown with a long, full skirt and train.

 To Give Your Guy Something To Look At

Let’s face it – a strapless wedding gown is definitely going to highlight your cleavage, especially if you pair your gown with a beautiful necklace and are wearing an updo. Your husband to be is going to take in your entire look when you first walk down the aisle, but as you’re standing there exchanging vows, you can only gaze into each other’s eyes romantically for so long. Cut your guy a break and give him somewhere else to look by accentuating your cleavage with a strapless gown! There’s no need to go with a super deep cut or anything like that – just a little cleavage is perfectly demure, while still giving your fella somewhere to let his eyes wander. Plus, you’ll give him something to look forward to later that night!
