Sweetheart Strapless Neckline Gowns

Featuring a timeless sweetheart neckline, these dresses accentuate the décolletage and frame the face beautifully. The strapless sweetheart wedding dresses add a touch of sophistication, while the sweetheart shape adds a hint of playfulness. With their flattering silhouettes and delicate details, these dresses create a captivating and memorable bridal look, perfect for any bride seeking a touch of enchantment on her special day.

Expert Tip
What factors should brides consider when choosing a neckline style, such as comfort, or personal preference?
All three factors, as well as your body type, are important to consider. Those with a larger bust may need gowns that offer more support, while a bride with a small bust may want a neckline that makes the bust appear fuller. A V-neckline is always flattering, as it draws the eye vertically, elongating the body, while a straight across neckline can help balance a more petite upper body and fuller lower body. An architectural, asymmetrical neckline is modern and fresh, while a cowl neckline gives a nod to Old Hollywood glamour. Try a variety of necklines at your shopping appointment to see which you gravitate towards.
