When I saw the photos of Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, I thought about a question that’s been going through mind lately. Why are women selecting such revealing wedding dresses?
Is it because fashions in general are showing more skin? Or because modern undergarments allow enough support so that the bride can walk down the aisle, greet people, and dance at a reception without difficulties? Or because social attitudes about marriage have changed since many couples live together or share intimacies before marriage?
As a baby boomer mom or dad, have you and your daughter disagreed about how revealing her wedding dress should be? Do ministers, priests, and rabbis object to revealing dresses?
I’ve watched the wedding gown shows a few times on television and most of the dresses shown are strapless.
In looking for examples of today’s wedding dresses, I ran across The Bridal Buzz’s "Top 10 Sluttiest Wedding Dresses." These go way beyond anything I’ve seen.
Here are some tips from a wedding photographer on how to select a strapless wedding gown.

Strapless seems to have been the in thing since 2000 but lace is coming back. I have seen more and more dresses with straps and lace, almost Victorian in style.

After all, its all about fashion and the comfortability of the bride who will going to wear the dress and show to the people how lovely she would be by that gown.

I wouldn't say it's about fashion. I believe it's the culture that defines the wedding dress.

I think after the royal wedding the dress style will change. Strapless has been round for a while now and lace seems to be coming back in.
Personaly I think it is what suits you best that you should go for not fasion of trends.

Depending on the latest fashion the style changes and the choice changes. What ever the bride finds will best suit her and in which she will be more comfortable accordingly she select.
