Now, we’ve run our fair share of gorgeous weddings at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, but we swear we think this wins the award for most gorgeous to date. It makes sense, though, considering...

This “illusion” trend might as well be called the best of both worlds, since it allows a woman to feel demure (yes, my cleavage is covered) while essentially sporting a strapless gown. Outlined with welting, like that along the sheer lace overlay atop Lazaro’s corseted bodice, or sewn with invisible seams, like Monique Lhuillier’s gowns, there are many ways to toy with the look.
