Whether you are looking for a sultry slip dress or an edgy, fashion-forward ball gown, you will without a doubt come across the deep V-neckline. The style may have once been considered provocative, but now it’s one of the most popular necklines you’ll see when bridal dress shopping. The deep-V can be a subtle accent to your overall look, or it can be a focal point. We love this style because it works with any aesthetic—from boho to glam to minimalistic. In addition, it’s a great way to show a bit of skin in a sophisticated way.
Sophie Turner walked down the aisle in a plunging neckline ball gown designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, the creative director of Louis Vuitton. Other designers, including Monique Lhuillier, Ines Di Santo, and Galia Lahav, showcased the neckline in their most recent collections. In other words, this is one trend that you are going to want to look out for in your search.
Ahead are 25 of our favorite deep V-neck wedding dresses for every bridal style.
