Pair crop-tops with full skirts
Crop-top wedding dresses are all the rage right now. We love how this look includes a full skirt to keep things feeling elegant and classic.Meredith Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner

Illusion details
Sheer illusion detail is a great way to show skin without taking things overboard. This look—another crop-top, by the way—uses the illusion detail at the neckline for a sophisticated touch.Melina Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner

Show off those shoulders
Off-the-shoulder necklines were among the trendiest styles at this season’s New York Bridal Fashion Week. We love the regal, yet slightly boho-chic vibe of this look—it’s sexy but still totally princess-worthy and sweet.Megara Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner

Halter necklines
Another way to show off toned upper arms and shoulders—the modern halter neckline! This style is all the rage this season, and is particularly appropriate for summer weddings.Maybelle Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner

The deep v-neck
We all know the power of the low v-neckline (just ask J.Lo!). This gown in particular offers unique crystal embroidery on the sultry bodice, but keeps things super clean and simple on crepe skirt.Mallory Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner

Sheer lace bodice
The peekaboo lace bodice of this gown shows just a bit of the midriff, but the gown’s romantic silhouette keeps things feminine and romantic.Marciela Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner

Strategic beading
For a totally glam look, a sheer bodice covered with crystal embroidery is spot-on. The pairing of this super-sexy top with the classic tulle bottom gives the gown an extra romantic feel.Matilda Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner

The sweetheart neckline
It’s pretty obvious why so many brides love sweetheart necklines—they look great on so many different body types and are pretty and sexy at once. This sweetheart neckline gown is particular romantic—we particularly adore the vintage-style godet pleats on the skirt.Mila Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner

The tip-of-the-shoulder look
This style combines several sexy details—the off-the-shoulder neckline, the illusion details, the sheer bodice—but still manages to stay feminine and sophisticated. How? It’s all about that ultra-feminine lace!Martha Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner

The form-fitting silhouette
Okay, fine, you’re not showing too much skin with this look—but a body-hugging silhouette like this one is certainly sexy. We also can’t resist a gown with sleeves, and these sheer lace ones are absolutely divine.Mia Wedding Dress by Morilee by Madeline Gardner
