We know at The Ivory Lounge when it comes to choosing the perfect bridal gown, there are countless styles, fabrics, and finishings to consider.

But perhaps one of the best places to start is making your decision on a the neckline.

But before you dive into the vast world

of bridal dress necklines,

let’s focus on something more important: comfort.


First and foremost, your bridal dress should make you feel comfortable, because when you feel comfortable, you radiate confidence.

Every bride has her own personal style and comfort level, and it’s so important to find elements that align with your vision and allows you to feel like

the best version of

yourself on your wedding day


Finding Your Ideal Neckline

Every bride has her own unique vision for how she wants to look and feel on her wedding day, and the right neckline can help bring that vision to life.

Here’s a breakdown of some familiar bridal necklines and the feeling they can create:


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.


Halter

The halter neckline ties behind the neck, leaving the shoulders and arms beautifully exposed. It provides support while offering a sleek, stylish look that works wonderfully for brides looking for something bold and flattering.


Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, we believe you deserve to feel amazing, not just look stunning!

As we say to all our brides, this means wearing a dress that makes you feel at ease, whether it’s allowing you to move freely, breathe comfortably, or simply not feeling self-conscious.

The right neckline can make all the difference in achieving that comfort.


Thanks for reading, take care
