By Kellee Khalil for Lover.ly

We're calling it: the #1 trend for wedding dresses for 2013 is dresses with elegant and dramatic backs. Intricate backs create a gorgeous, feminine look that we love for brides; slip into one of these wedding gowns and you can be sure that you'll look as gorgeous leaving the reception as you do when you walk down the aisle. Here are our favorite dresses in this style.
