Long Sleeves, Strapless & Off-the-Shoulder: A Guide to Neckline Trends

There’s a lot that goes into finding the perfect bridal gown, and one of the most important details to consider is the neckline! Not only does this detail highlight your beautiful face, but it also affects your entire wedding day look. 


When you’re picking a neckline for your wedding dress, it’s helpful to keep in mind a few factors: the venue, the season, what accessories you’re wearing, and what you plan on doing with your hair. 


From strapless bridal gowns to off the shoulder wedding dresses, today’s blog is going to cover some popular current neckline trends and how to decide which one is for you! 


Popular Neckline Trends


Off The Shoulder Wedding Dresses
An off the shoulder neckline is a romantic, feminine choice that highlights the decolletage and shoulders perfectly. This timeless aesthetic allows for diverse styling with a variety of dress silhouettes, making them perfect for any wedding venue or theme.

Strapless Bridal Gowns
Strapless wedding dresses are popular because they’re versatile, flattering, and easy to alter. They also allow birds to show off their shoulders while feeling like a princess. The simple construction of a strapless neckline allows bridal designers to create a variety of styles and they’re so comfortable for warmer months. They also pair beautifully with a statement neckline.

Long Sleeve Wedding Gowns 
Long sleeve bridal gowns offer the perfect combination of elegance, coverage, and diverse styling options. They’re beloved for creating a sophisticated bridal look that also provides comfort and warmth for chillier weather. This is also perfect for brides who want to feel like royalty on their wedding day, as there have been so many royal weddings that featured long sleeve wedding dresses! Bonus if the neckline is a two in one style, like an off the shoulder long sleeve wedding dress. 


Another bonus combination we love is a strapless bridal gown with detachable long sleeves. These offer incredible versatility, allowing brides to achieve a two in one look by removing the sleeves for the reception after the ceremony. It’s also a budget friendly way to switch up your bridal look without having to buy a second dress.
