Traditional & Custom Wedding Ceremonies

As with other aspects of your wedding dress, you have a number of options for the style of your neckline. In choosing your neckline, consider those styles that might be most flattering to your figure. Following are definitions of the most common neckline styles.

Boat, Bateau, or Scoop: Neckline gently follows curve of collarbone to tip of shoulders in front and same in back.

High: Collar just brushes the chin.

Jewel: Fabric encircles natural neckline.

Off-the-shoulder: Neckline falls below shoulders and hovers above bustline (dress has sleeves).

Queen Anne: Neckline rises high at nape/back of neck, sculpts low in front either in sweetheart shape or to outline a bare yoke.

Queen Elizabeth: High collar stands up in back but comes to a closed V in front.

Sabrina: High, slightly curved neck.

Square: shaped like half a square in front; may be same in back or high and straight.

Sweetheart: Front is shaped like top half of a heart; back is higher and straight across from shoulder to shoulder.
