Your wedding dress should enhance your figure and make you feel beautiful. If you have a hand in designing your dress or you are choosing from a retailer’s catalogue, pay attention to every detail of the wedding dress and imagine how it would look on you.

The neckline is one of the most noticeable parts of a dress, so see to it that the style you choose would flatter your appearance. To help you identify the neckline that is best for you, here’s a list of the common neckline styles.

V-Neck

The neckline that dips down in the front (or in the back as well, at times). This is perfect for you if you have a medium-sized bust. Bad idea if you have a small or large chest.

Scoop or round

Perfect for just about any bride (especially for the more conservative types). This style of neckline is rounded at the base of the throat, creating a U shape.

Sweetheart

Shaped usually like the top portion of a heart, this style is recommendable for large-chested brides.

Off the shoulder

This style will showcase your collarbones and shoulders, so if you are not comfortable with your shoulders, you may want to choose a different style instead.

Strapless

The popular choice of busty brides. It also highlights the shoulders and collarbones.

Bateau

The cut of this style emphasizes less cleavage so it is ideal for those with smaller bust. Also great for those blessed with defined collarbones.

Halter

This style features straps, which wrap around the neck and emphasizes the shoulders.
