How to Choose the Perfect Neckline for Your Bridal Gown

How to Choose the Perfect Neckline for Your Bridal Gown

You’ve found your venue, set the date, and maybe even picked your bridal party. Now it’s time for one of the most exciting parts of the wedding planning journey: finding your dream dress! While there are plenty of details to think about - fabric, silhouette, train length - one element that can make or break your bridal look is the neckline.


The neckline frames your face, balances your proportions, and sets the tone for your overall style. Whether you're going for modern elegance, romantic drama, or bohemian flair, choosing the right neckline is key. Let’s walk through the most popular neckline styles and show you a few stunning gowns from our collection that bring each one to life.


Asymmetrical Neckline

If you want to make a statement with your gown, an asymmetrical neckline offers an ultra-modern twist. This style draws the eye in unexpected ways and is ideal for brides looking for something fashion-forward and bold.


Try: Enaura | Style ES3055
This fitted column gown features a unique asymmetrical neckline that wraps gracefully around the neck. It’s sophisticated, sleek, and adds an architectural element that’s undeniably chic. Pair this look with a sleek bun or soft waves to highlight the neckline’s drama.

 


Plunging Neckline

Daring and dramatic, a plunging neckline adds instant glamour to your bridal look. It elongates the torso and is perfect for confident brides who want to bring a little red-carpet energy to the aisle.


Try: Valentini | Style E0871
This sleeveless fit-and-flare gown is all about confidence and contour. The plunging neckline is tastefully balanced by the clean lines of the skirt, creating a look that’s sexy yet elegant. Bonus: this silhouette flatters curves and accentuates your natural waist.

 


Square Neckline

A square neckline is a dream for the minimalist bride. Structured yet romantic, this shape offers clean lines and vintage-inspired elegance. It flatters most body types and provides support while keeping things modern and sleek.


Try: Martina Liana | Style 1858
This gown is the perfect example of square-neckline sophistication. Delicate pearl straps lead to a gorgeously detailed bodice, while the Basque waist and flowing organza skirt add volume and drama. With pockets (yes, pockets!) and a leg slit, this gown blends princess energy with modern practicality.

 


Halter Neckline

A halter neckline shows off your shoulders and back while offering great support. It’s an excellent choice for brides who want a mix of coverage and sensuality, with a slightly sporty vibe that feels fresh and fashion-forward.


Try: All Who Wander | Style Blane
This gown is boho beauty at its finest. The high halter neckline made of graphic lace adds interest up top, while the crepe column silhouette hugs the body just right. With a wrapped bodice, sheer cutouts, and a leg slit, Blane is perfect for the free-spirited bride who still wants a showstopping moment.
