Want a sexy wedding dress but afraid to offend your grandmothers or mom? Even the sexiest dress (which are very trendy right now) can look decent to take pictures with your grandparents. There’s a fine line between looking sexy and revealing a little too much, and today we’ll have a look how to pull off a gorgeous wedding gown without looking tacky.
Plunging Necklines
This neckline can be quite the show stopper, and many designers today offer such gowns because they are in trend. If you’re smaller on top, flaunt your bust by trying a deep plunge that ends about 3″ north of your waist line. For larger busts, opt for a halter style neckline.

Crop tops and Midriffs
Showing off your stomach on your wedding day is quite a sexy statement to make, and if you have a six pack, flaunt it! However if you aren’t that daring but love the concept of a little midriff reveal, then try out the lace or illusion midriff trend.

Extreme Hemlines
A sexy trend without having to reveal much of anything else, your one leg exposed by a super high slit could be all you need. Designers are giving you options to flaunt, from the high-hip slit to the subtle knee kick-out — you really can reveal from anywhere in between.

Nude illusions
The sexiest trend for any size or shape is the illusion neckline. It’s all about giving the illusion of ‘skin’ by matching your skin tone to linings embellished with embroidery, sequins or lace appliqués. If full illusions are too much for you, opt for gowns that have illusion cut-outs or panels. The key to pulling this off is the color — the closer the mesh illusion is to matching your skin, the better.

Bringing Sexy Back
Designers are upping the wow factor of gowns with intricate strapping, floating button closures and super low waist lines. Whether you choose a bare back or feel more comfortable with a sheer mesh layer, there is nothing sexier than the curves of your backside. You can also highlight your back with a back necklace.

Strategic appliqué placement
Show off your body with the help of little of perfectly placed appliqués covering just enough of your basics to take photos with the grandma. To get the same appeal with a lesser reveal, look for gowns out that have open weave lace patterns that show off some skin but cover you all the way around.
