Your Ultimate Guide to Wedding Dress Necklines- Starting With V-Neck

The magic of a V-neck wedding dress is that it has a lot of versatility which means it can be perfect for any bride. A gorgeous V-neck gown is also very easy to accessorize by adding a fabulous necklace, earrings, and bracelets which makes completing your bridal look stress-free.  Here are a few reasons that a V-neck wedding dress may be right for you.

Elongates Torso & Makes You Look Taller

Having a beautiful V-neckline wedding dress can do many things for you, including making you look taller. It’s true! The gentle fabric and details are perfectly placed to create the shape of a V in the front and generally also the back. This type of neckline can help to make you look taller because it creates a long vertical line for the eye to follow. Add a dramatic necklace and sparkly chandelier earrings to continue the vertical lines created by the V-neckline for the ultimate wedding day look!

Frames Your Face

When you were a wedding gown that has straps that gently cover your shoulders to provide a great frame for your face this means your guest’s eyes will be drawn to the beauty of you instead of the beauty of the dress. When styling your wedding day look, you can add a simple yet elegant pair of earrings to complete your bridal style. Beautiful diamond studs or elegant drop earrings are the perfect addition.

Hides Imperfections

Every woman has areas of their body that they do not like. On your wedding day you may be very self-conscious about showing these areas, so if one of them is the dreaded “arm-pit fat” or “back fat” (both very popular concerns for brides) the V-neck wedding dress will cover them! Adding a stunning piece of jewelry, such as a back necklace that is full of bling or gorgeous pendant necklace also redirects the eye from your imperfections. Wedding jewelry is a great way to dress up your bridal look.

Wow! It is so simple that the fabric of your wedding dress can help hide imperfections, make you look taller, allows for regular undergarments, and provides the best canvas for your photographer. Genius!

Below we are breaking down all the dos and don’ts for wedding day jewelry for your V-neck wedding dress.

What Necklace Looks Good with A V-Neck Wedding Dress?

Drop Pendant

This wedding necklace provides a delicate touch. It generally will have a simple, thin chain with a beautiful hanging pendant. What it does is follow the lines of the plunging V-neckline to just add a little extra touch. The pendant can be a pearl, diamond, colored stone, or cross.

Choker

The choker is making a comeback and really looks great with a variety of wedding dress necklines. If you want something that is a little simpler opting for a great choker made of a silky ribbon or velvet might be the best way to go.

Layered Choker & Pendant

If you are looking for something to add a lot of detail, you may want to search for a stunning layered necklace set. This combines the choker and pendant to create 3 different layers of a necklace to accent your wedding dress. A beautiful option.

Back Necklace

This is one of our absolute favorites, as it provides gorgeous accents to your dress’s front and back. Generally, the back necklace will have a choker look in the front and a dramatic yet ever-so-romantic look in the back. It is an unexpected detail that will have your guests in awe! (also, a little sexy to have a gorgeous sparkly diamond hanging down the center of your back). Definitely a great choice for brides!

The Ultimate Guide To Accessorizing Your Big Day

What Earrings Looks Good With A V-Neck Wedding Dress

The way you wear your hair on your wedding day will help you decide what type of earrings to. Consider if you are wearing your hair up or down while shopping for your wedding day jewelry accessories. If you are wearing your hair down a simple yet sophisticated pair of stud earrings is the best choice. If your dream is to have a classy up-do on your wedding day, the sky is the limit when it comes to choosing your wedding earrings. You can choose from pendant earrings, chandelier earrings, drop earrings, or even classy studs.

Studs

Every woman’s best friend! Simple studs are so versatile and a great investment. Depending on the details of your dress, you may choose luxurious pearls.

Pearls – If you are wearing a wedding dress that has subtle details, such as plain lace, or a simple satin gown with no details, pearls are a great option.

Cubic Zirconia – uh! This goes without saying. There is never a bad day to purchase faux diamond studs. These gorgeous earrings look amazing with wedding dresses that have more silver or clear sparkles on the bodice. And versatile because you can wear them over and over again.

Colored Stones – Wearing a wedding dress darker than traditional white or ivory may lead you to look at a colored stone earring. If your gown is gold in color you can shop for beautiful colored gems that will mirror the color of your gown. Earrings that are gold, champagne, rose gold, or even amber will look the best!

Drop

Complete your bridal look with a lovely set of drop earrings. Choose from dangling pendants of crystal, pearl, or colored stone. Drop earrings can be vintage in style, glamorous, or soft and demur. Easy to wear and a perfect addition for any bride wanting to complete a romantic look.

Hoops

For the trendy bride, dramatic hoop earrings are a great accessory! You’ll want to add extra special style for a modern bridal look on your wedding day. Everything from delicate metal coils to crystal or cubic zirconia accented loops. Hoop earrings are also a great choice for your bridesmaids. The options are endless with hoop earrings and definitely an investment that can be worn again.

Chandeliers

You can never go wrong with a gorgeous, eye-catching chandelier earring. A traditional go-to piece that is easy to shop for and looks amazing with a V-neck wedding gown.

Do I need a bracelet with my V-Neck Wedding Dress?

Whether to wear a bracelet with your wedding dress or not is completely yours, but if you decide to wear one, there are a few things to consider when shopping for your bridal bracelet.

Continue The Design Element

When choosing a bracelet for your wedding day, continue with the same design element. If you chose a halo design for your wedding earrings, you would want to also have a halo-styled bracelet. Another example is if you wear gorgeous teardrop earrings, you don’t want to have square stones on your bracelet. Instead, opt for a bracelet that also has a teardrop-shaped stone and design.

Match The Color

Make sure that all of the jewelry you purchase for your wedding day is the same tone. Your earrings and bracelet should also be gold if you purchase a gold necklace. Do not mix and match tones.

Consider The Fabric

When deciding whether to wear a bracelet on your wedding day, think about the fabric of your dress. If your gown has a tulle skirt, do not purchase a bracelet with prong-set stones. (this is when the prongs or metal that holds the stones in place wrap around the stone). Prong settings tend to get caught on the delicate tulle, chiffon, and organza fabrics, creating snags and, ultimately, a hole.

This cannot easily be fixed, so if you have chosen one of these fabrics, it may be best to skip the wedding day bracelet altogether. If you must wear a bracelet, then maybe something that is a strand of round crystals, pearls, etc., may be best. Just make sure that you remember to consider the style of your other jewelry. If you are wearing a rhinestone necklace, don’t wear a pearl bracelet (unless it is an heirloom and you have something old or borrowed).

Consider the Location, Time, and Wedding Theme

When shopping for your wedding jewelry, it is also important to think about the setting you have chosen for your wedding, along with the time of day and theme. If you are having a morning wedding followed by a brunch reception, sparkly wedding necklaces and earrings may be too much. Instead, you can accessorize your bridal look with beautiful, soft pearls. And vice versa having a nighttime, elegant soirée or black-tie affair dictates some added pizzazz…bring on the bling!

Wear Your Wedding Bracelet On The Right Hand

Why? Well you will want your left wrist and hand to be free of jewelry so that your ring and new wedding band are the only accessories. Some of your guests will ask to see the ring. You don’t want your stunning diamond tennis bracelet to distract from your wedding set, so we suggest you wear your bridal bracelet on the right hand.
