Wedding gowns: Strapless

I don't know, but it seems to me a lot of brides-to-be choose a strapless design for a wedding dress. Is it perhaps because it's sexy but not too shocking? Or maybe because it flatters most body types?

I do think that strapless necklines are best worn by those who have great shoulders, or women who have enough bosom to show, but I don't think it will work for those with really big bustline. ;-) Strapless dresses may also flatter petites, as it shows more skin and gives the illusion of added height.

While I'm not the strapless type (I wore a halter neck dress for my own wedding), I still think that this kind of design is classic and glamorous. Here are some strapless wedding gowns for your inspiration:
