The coolest way for a bride to wear an illusion gown? Paired with gorgeous texture!
For our February/March issue, our fashion team checked in to the recently renovated Ritz Paris to photograph our favorite styles and silhouettes.
Whether you've envisioned yourself in a slim sheath, an A-line, a mini, or anything else, we've got you covered. (But seriously, though. These illusion dresses show off the perfect amount of skin: not too much and not too little.)

If you're partial to a slinky silhouette, try this stunning gown, which leaves the illusion at the bottom so as not to reveal too much. (Microsequined dress with flower appliqués, price upon request, Mira Zwillinger)
The best way to wear long sleeves and a high boat neckline without looking conservative? Yep, illusion sleeves. (Not to mention it also makes those sweet sequins stand out.) (Sequined tulle and organza gown, price upon request, Elie Saab Bridal)
Indulge in a voluminous gown — without letting it weigh you down — with tiers of translucent tulle. (Tulle gown with lace appliqués, $3,200, Yolan Cris)
For a bit of boudoir inspiration, a lace bodice and a cutaway, wispy skirt will do the trick. (Floral embroidered-lace gown, price upon request, Monique Lhuillier)
There's no rule that says you have to go long for your wedding day: pair this mini with ballet flats and you'll be chic and comfortable. (Crinoline dress with Chantilly lace and flower appliqués, $2,709, Yolan Cris)
Leave it to Vera to make a corset and peplum seem so dramatic and new. (Try wearing this one with a soft, simple hairstyle to keep it feeling effortless.) (Double-corseted gown with horsehair peplum, price upon request, Vera Wang)
With a slim shape and gorgeous feathers, this one transitions easily from ceremony to reception — just throw a blazer over it if you want to make it more casual for the party. (Gown with illusion necklineand feather details, $9,800, Christian Siriano for Kleinfeld)
The details on this one won us over — we love how the petals look like they're falling off the skirt. So, so pretty. (Draped, embroidered tulle and silk-organza gown with gazar-blossom veil, $8,800, Austin Scarlett)
