von maur black dresses NWT Adrianna Papell Event Dress Von Maur Charmed Hearts Black

The Evianna Backless Satin Maxi Dress is the epitome of modern glamour and effortless sophistication

If you already have a darker skin tone you have a head start just make sure that your back is well moisturised in the run-up to the wedding (a fabulous job to give your groom although you might not want to tell him why hes doing it!) If youve chosen a backless gown, finish the look by making statements to the rear: choose a hairstyle with an intricate plait or roll at the back, and pick a pin, comb or flower that complements the dress to wear at the back of your hair

Burgundy makes outfits look so rich, and it actually pairs well with quite a few colors, making it delightfully versatile
