If you're planning a wedding, there are many things that are probably giving you nightmares right now, including but not limited to: Being naked as you walk down the aisle, your teeth falling out, or getting the words wrong during the ceremony. Wedding dresses with straps will give you one less thing to worry about and put your mind at ease about any possible cleavage mishaps that might've occurred without them.
There's no denying that strapless dresses are beautiful, but IMO, they are risky. As a small chested gal who's getting married this year, I knew right off the bat that I would never pick a strapless wedding dress, due to the fact that my petite cleavage literally wouldn't be able to keep it up. On the other hand, ladies with large boobs may have the challenge of keeping their girls in their dress, without popping out for the entire congregation to see.
Aside from the potential busty mayhem that could ensue with a strapless dress, there's also the issue of comfort to contemplate. Do you really want to spend the whole day yanking up your dress? Even if you feel comfy for the most part, you won't look it if you're constantly tugging at it. It's also wise to remember that a strapless dress has to be fastened pretty tight in order to stay put.
So here's an array of wedding dresses with straps if comfort is as important to you as looking gorgeous.
