Low, lower, and lowest back wedding dresses

There’s no doubt about it – low back wedding dresses are hot right now, and there are a lot of ways to do it. Check out a sampling of Masako Formals low back wedding gown options.

Jane White of Palazzo

Jane White, designer of Palazzo bridal, is a humble genius. When it comes to the two most important aspects of a wedding dress – look and feel – her gowns score 11 out of a possible 10 on both counts. Here’s a peak into the deceiving “simplicity” that requires the highest level of precision, which she can execute because all her gowns are hand crafted locally outside of her Chicago home. We see a lot of dresses, but these ones almost made us cry. (Update: see our Ko’olau Ballrooms Palazzo photo shoot.)

What you’ll see from her Fall 2015 Bridal collection? – new plays on low back wedding dresses, some incredible work with illusion neck and backlines, and some fun short wedding dress styles.
