Things I Love: Lace-Back Dresses

When you think of the perfect wedding dress, what words come to mind? Elegant … dreamy … romantic? For me lately, the two words that describe my favorite wedding dresses are "lace back." The current trend toward wedding gowns with stunning lace backs is SO PRETTY! And I love how so many of them are illusion backs with lace appliqué on them. The girl in me adores the femininity, and the photographer in me loves the textural interest. Seeing them always makes my breath catch in my throat and my fingers itch for my camera!

Here are some of my very favorites (you may recognize some of them from my Pinterest page):
