Straight: Straight necklines, as the name implies, cut straight across the bust. A perfect option for more minimalist brides.
V-Neck: V-necklines are exactly like that of your favorite tee and provide an elegant way to show a bit of skin (without revealing too much).
Foldover: Foldover necklines are similar to straight ones, except that they feature a single exaggerated pleat to add interest.
