Non-strapless Knockouts

Step aside, strapless. You’ve dominated the bridal aisles for many years now, but this year, some new, non-strapless knockouts have been popping up on runways and in salons. While strapless works beautifully on many brides, some brides just are not comfortable in strapless for whatever reason – whether it’s physical comfort, or just not wanting to show that much skin. But some brides may worry that a non-strapless gown will cover them up too much, making them appear dowdy and less sexy. But this couldn’t be further from the truth with today’s modern spin on the traditional wedding dress. With their illusion necklines, backless bodices and figure hugging shapes, these gowns are chic, show-stopping alternatives to strapless dresses. Here are a few of our favorites.
