 Short, flirty, sheer and plunging aren’t words you might typically associate with wedding gowns.

But not every bride wants to look virginal as she walks down the aisle, and Oscar de la Renta, Marchesa and Vera Wang were just some of the designers who showed bridal gowns that were more sexy than subtle at Bridal Fashion Week recently.

Ok, so we know we’re pushing the boat out here. But a list of sexiest wedding dresses could hardly fail to include this tiny number by Israeli designer Alon Livné. And yes, technically it is a swimsuit  (though he calls it “the Heaven dress”). Beach wedding anyone?

The off-the-shoulder trend is everywhere right now, and that includes Bridal Fashion Week. This Ines Di Santo design also featured strategically placed lace flowers for extra coverage!

Bringing tassles, traditional, colourful aspects of Indian wedding ceremonies and even knee-high boots to his Bridal Fashion Week collection, designer Naeem Khan is afraid to push fashion boundaries. This high-necked number was balanced out by cut-aways and sheer panels.
