Wedding Dress Styles: 10 Gowns That Are Sexy & Sweet | HuffPost Life

10 Gowns That Are The Perfect Combination Of Sexy And Sweet

By Kellee Khalil for Lover.ly

When it comes to wedding gowns, our favorite blurred line of the moment is that very faint bit of gray between sexy and sweet. Wearing white symbolizes purity, but a backless or low-cut white gown, showing just a tiny bit of your womanly form? No man can deny the sex appeal in that. Here are our favorite gowns of the season that are the perfect balance of sexy and sweet.
