There are a lot of important aspects to choose for your dream wedding dress, and the neckline is one of those! There’s going to be a ton of attention on your face and neck on your wedding day, from guests, cameras, and your spouse. This is why choosing the right neckline is so crucial! The neckline is intended to frame your face and perfectly complement your jewelry, hairstyle, and makeup. Today we’re sharing some popular wedding neckline types to choose from:
Sweetheart
There is no doubt that the sweetheart neckline is the most popular of all wedding dress necklines. Designed to support brides with a generous décolleté and make short necks appear longer, it is inspired by the upper curves of a heart. Corset bodices with sweetheart necklines create a flirtatious look for all silhouettes!
V-Neck
An all-purpose wedding dress neckline, the v-neck is flattering for short to medium-sized brides, as it adds height to the dress. If you have large or protruding collarbones, or if you have a generous or protruding décolleté, the V-neck can be a super flattering design!
Off-The-Shoulder
An off-the-shoulder neckline is a beautiful choice for brides who want to show off their collarbones and shoulders! It’s so romantic and flirtatious for a bridal look. If the bride does not have a small to medium cleavage, this look can appear quite 'busty.’ Also perfect for accessorizing with a precious necklace, this neckline balances out wide midriffs and pear-shaped bodies.
Bateau
The bateau neckline is the epitome of French-style chic. It’s sometimes referred to as the “Sabrina’ neckline as well and is a straight neckline that stretches over the collarbone to either shoulder. It’s so romantic!
Square
An empire neckline resembles the shape of a square and elongates the body. In addition, the shoulders are angled to create an angular silhouette. Open necklines can be widened or lowered to accentuate your shoulders or give your ensemble a modern edge. Brides who want to slim down their shoulders while enhancing their necks and busts will love this style.
Plunging
The plunging neckline enhances your décolletage, lengthens your torso, and adds a sexy flash of skin for the more daring bride. Most plunges come with illusion panels to prevent wardrobe malfunctions, but plenty of brides wear it without. You can balance out the coverage of long sleeves with a plunge if you plan on wearing long sleeves!
