Sweetheart

A romantic and feminine design shaped like the top of a heart, the sweetheart neckline highlights the bust and creates a soft, flattering silhouette. It’s perfect for brides seeking a classic, elegant look.

V-Neck

The V-neck creates an elongating effect, making the torso appear longer and leaner. This neckline can vary in depth and offers a sleek, flattering shape while adding a touch of sophistication to your bridal gown.

Plunge

The plunging neckline is bold and dramatic, creating a deep V that draws attention to the chest and collarbones. Ideal for brides looking to make a statement, it combines sensuality with modern flare.

Square

A straight-across neckline with sharp, angular edges, the square neckline offers a structured, geometric look. It’s perfect for brides wanting a more architectural and contemporary design while maintaining modesty.

Cat’s Eye

A playful and unique style, the cat’s eye neckline features a subtle curve at the top with a point at the centre, resembling the shape of a cat’s eye. This chic and eye-catching design adds a touch of drama to any bridal gown.

High

The high neckline is sophisticated and elegant, providing more coverage while creating a streamlined, regal look. Often seen in vintage-inspired designs, it exudes class and can be paired with lace or satin for added glamour.
