Off-the-Shoulder Wedding Dresses

Wedding dress shopping ranks as one of the most anticipated parts of the wedding planning process.  It’s exciting to finally try on all the dress styles from the internet or in the pages of magazines.  Considering dresses come in all shapes, silhouettes and fabrics there are a lot of choices out there but one style that always looks glamorous is an off-the-shoulder dress.

Perhaps after weeks of bridal bootcamp, your shoulders are finally ready to be seen when walking down the aisle. An off-the-shoulder design is an elegant way to show off your upper body while still providing coverage and not showing too much skin. Even if you aren’t as comfortable with a strapless gown, exposing just your shoulders is a great hybrid choice.

Off-the-shoulder dresses are available in a myriad of bridal styles. You’ll find this style on ballgowns, trumpet gowns, short gowns, sheaths and so much more. Even if you don’t truly know your wedding dress style yet this silhouette will be available in multiple styles and we’ve selected a few of our favorites for you to consider.
