Soft, romantic and feminine are just a few words to describe this gorgeous A-line gown by Enzoani.

Here’s where the dress takes a slight turn to sexy: through the plunging neckline and open low back.
It’s a bold twist for an otherwise classic and enchanting gown.
7. Darlene – Calla Blanche
This next wedding dress is super unique and the daring back design is a favorite of ours.
From Calla Blanche’s Fall 2019 collection, the Darlene ball gown is fit for a princess boasting intricate beading and dreamy lace.
The shoulders feature lacy capped sleeves that slowly trickle down to a sculpted V-shape in the back and cut-outs on the side.
It’s a stunning look for the bride who wants something flirty and feminine.
8. Barbara – Randy Fenoli
We were on cloud nine when we found this dress because the back detail is classic, romantic and sexy on this breathtaking dress.
The Barbara trumpet gown features a boat/bateau neckline and lace across the entire gown.
The real stunner here is the sheer illusion v-back with floral lace applique and timeless buttons down the back.
The buttons follow the contour of the bride’s body down to the sweeping train, ensuring that all eyes are on her as she floats down the aisle.
9. Adriana – Solo Merav
Another take-notice wedding dress, this time from designer Solo Merav.
The Adriana gown is a bold and beautiful two-piece gown—a comeback trend in the bridal world.
The gown boasts beaded lace and boho-inspired embroidery.
The sheer back features stunning lace detailing, creating a unique tattoo-like effect, as a lead before the rich tulle train.
We love this wedding dress option for a destination wedding on the beach, the desert or a mountaintop.
It’s definitely a unique look made for an adventurous bride.
10. Macedonia – St. Patrick
For the grand finale, this romantic Macedonia gown by St. Patrick.
The sleek fit-and-flare gown starts with a sheer lace off-the-shoulder neckline and mid-length sleeves, a rare sleeve length for a wedding gown.
The keyhole v-back demands attention with a detailed lace hem. Classic buttons trail down the back of the bride, ending with a Cathedral train. This gown would be great for the traditional bride that wants a hint of sexy.
