When you walk into a bridal shop, the salesperson working should be ready to help you find that one-of-a-kind dress for your big day. You can make everyone’s job a bit easier if you know what you’re looking for! While you should stay open to many ideas, having an opinion about the neckline you want is a good start. Here are some of the most common necklines, as well as the body types that fit them best:

Jewel:
Jewel necklines are high and traditions – great if you want something very conservative.  Be aware, however, that the high neckline can have a tendency to make your bust look bigger, since there is no distinction between the chest and the neck. This neckline works best on girls with a smaller chest.

V-Neck:
A V-neck neckline flatters brides who want to should off their chest a bit. However, if you go this route, make sure that the V doesn’t dip too low. V-necks are also good for de-emphasizing broad shoulders.

Sweetheart:
The sweetheart neckline is popular because it flatters almost everyone. This kind of neckline is found on dresses with and without straps/sleeves and gives an “open” feel to the dress without being to risque.

Halter:
A halter neckline is perfect for brides with wider shoulders and a larger chest. This type of dress works well for showing off the back, but can look a bit overwhelming for petite girls.

Straight, Sleeveless:
A sleeveless dress with a straight neck is a popular choice and looks especially good on brides who want to show off their arms, neck, and chest. This style is not good for brides with smaller chests.

Of course, these five options are your only choices when it comes to your wedding dress neckline. There are literally dozens of different necklines, and designers are creating unusual cuts every day. Have an idea of what you do and do not like, but keep an open mind as well. You can see more wedding dress neckline options at Fly Away Wedding.
