How to Choose the Perfect Neckline for Your Bridal Gown

How to Choose the Perfect Neckline for Your Bridal Gown

When it comes to finding the dress, one of the most important details to consider is the neckline. Why? Because the right neckline frames your face, flatters your figure, and ties your whole bridal look together. From romantic sweetheart cuts to chic square necklines, each style tells a slightly different story - and you want to find the one that speaks your bridal language.


Not sure where to start? Don’t worry - we’ve got you covered! At Emma Louise Bridal, we’re all about helping you feel your most confident, beautiful self on your wedding day. So let’s explore some of our favorite necklines (and the dreamy dresses that show them off perfectly)!


Sweetheart Neckline
The sweetheart neckline is a classic for a reason. It’s shaped like the top of a heart, making it ultra-flattering for nearly every bust size and oh-so-romantic in vibe. This style draws attention to your décolletage while still feeling soft and timeless.


Allegra by Stella York (Style 7560)
This strapless A-line beauty pairs a romantic sweetheart neckline with a floral lace bodice and floaty tulle skirt. It’s ethereal. It’s elegant. And yes, there’s a cheeky slit for a little modern flair.

 


Illusion Neckline
Looking for something a little less traditional with a high-fashion twist? The illusion neckline is a stunning way to add coverage without sacrificing style. It creates a magical, barely-there look with sheer fabric and intricate detailing.


Coral by Sophia Tolli (Style Y3161)
Coral is a boho bride’s dream with a modern twist. Her high illusion lace neckline is an absolute showstopper - delicate, detailed, and totally unique. We also love her daring illusion back, crepe fit-and-flare skirt, and floral train that’s simply breathtaking.

 


Square Neckline
The square neckline is having a serious moment - and we are here for it! Structured, sophisticated, and a little bit unexpected, this shape is ideal for brides who want to look timeless and fashion-forward.


5th Avenue by Dando London
5th Avenue is elegance personified. With its gentle A-line silhouette and modern square neckline, this gown gives major “cool bride” energy while still feeling classic. And that neckline is so flattering, especially for brides with a fuller bust or strong collarbones.

 


Scoop Neckline
A scoop neckline is a gentle, U-shaped neckline that gives off a soft, open look. Pair it with a basque waist - which dips slightly in the front to elongate the torso - and you’ve got a gown fit for royalty.


Isadora by Essense of Australia (Style D4158)
This dress features a strapless scoop neckline, basque waist, and a full organza ballgown skirt (yes, with pockets!). The lace-up back adds a dash of old-world charm, while the vertical seams contour your figure beautifully.

 


At the end of the day, the best neckline is the one that makes you feel amazing when you look in the mirror. Whether you’re drawn to a sweetheart, illusion, square, or scoop neckline, we have something you’ll love here at Emma Louise Bridal. Book your appointment today and let’s make magic happen!
