Turning a necklace into a backlace, adds a little something luxurious and seductive to a low back dress.

Although not a new trend, but definitely making a welcome comeback, backwards necklaces have been worn by numerous celebrities throughout the years including the Olsen twins, Jennifer Lawrence during her iconic fall at the Oscars in 2013 and, by none other than Princess Diana in 1985.

Dresses with low backs are becoming increasingly popular for pretty much all wedding related events, whether it’s the Rehearsal Dinner, Day Two or even the Big Day itself. A trend we are fully embracing!

Usually elongated delicate chains with small gem or pearl details, backlaces trail down the open backs accentuating the elegant dress detail whilst also showing off (arguably) one of the most sultry parts of a woman’s body.
