Wedding Dress Necklines

An important detail to consider on your wedding dress is the neckline. This will help you decide what accessories you will be wearing - some necklines scream for a statement necklace, others call for a demure set of pearls. And, in some cases, you will feel that the dress alone is enough! Especially if your choice has an embellished or lace bodice and/or sleeves. Note that the neckline of your gown has a huge impact on what bra you need to wear. So once you've made a final decision on your dress, underwear should be next on your list.

Bridal Trains

Nothing makes a Bridal statement quite like a sweeping train. We've listed the different lengths you'll find on our handy pin below so you can be sure to ask for the right type. And remember to ask your seamstress to add a wrist loop, or a bustle if you prefer, so that you can dance in your gown later on. Or you could always get a second, shorter dress for the evening. We're happy to enable that decision.
