V-Neck and Plunge wedding dresses

Add Some Sizzle to Your Wedding with a V-Neck Wedding Dress

From silhouette to length and fabric: every feature of your wedding dress is important and helps you showcase your personality and fashion taste. One of the most visible and dramatic features of your dress is the neckline. If you want to add a little sizzle to your ceremony, there’s only one neckline for you – the V-neck. A V-neck wedding dress can tease or flaunt depending on how deep you want to go. This fun and flirty neckline looks great on many different body types.

Understanding the V-Neck Wedding Dress

As its name implies, a V-neck dress features a dipping neckline that ends in a point. The V-neck reveals a bride’s décolletage and can show off a little or a lot of cleavage depending on how far the neckline plunges. Brides who only want to tease should look at simple V-neck wedding dresses that don’t dip too far. Those brides who wish to make a dramatic statement can opt for a deep V-neck wedding dress (also called a plunging V-neck), which can cut all the way down the bust. Brides who choose to take the plunge need to plan their wedding lingerie well. Adhesive cups and fashion tape can ensure everything stays in place.

Why Choose a V-Neck Wedding Dress?

With so many necklines to choose from, why should a bride consider a V-neck wedding dress? First, V-necks tend to lengthen the torso, which can be an ideal look for petite brides. They also bring attention to the bust, which works well for brides who want to highlight that particular feature. With the décolletage left bare, a V-neck can make room for a beautiful, sparkly necklace. If you already know you want to wear a big, visible necklace (possibly a family heirloom passed down in your family), a V-neck is an ideal neckline to show it off.

Finally, let’s be honest. V-necks are sexy. Giving your partner a hint of what your genes blessed you with is a fun and flirty way to add a little romantic pleasure to your wedding celebration. Brides who love their bodies and want to feel like a goddess on their wedding day will appreciate the confidence a V-neck offers. Plunging V-neck bridal gowns, in particular, will show your boldness and self-love and will ensure that your partner won’t be able to take their eyes off you the entire night.
