The youthful effect of novelty straps on wedding gowns

Gowns with eccentric straps dictate how a neckline is framed, and can actually be a jewelry alternative. This adds a youthful and fresh take on a classic gown especially when paired with serpentina gowns or other flattering silhouette styles. Strappy gowns allow the wearer to relax their upper bodies and shoulders for added comfort.
