One of the most common necklines on a wedding dress is the v-neck or also known as the “plunging” neckline. This neckline can be a sophisticated, and sometimes sexy, accent to a wedding dress and works well with a number of silhouettes.
If you’re not sure what a v-neck is, it’s pretty simple. The neckline comes down to a point on the chest and is shaped like the letter “V”.
The best way to explain this flattering and timeless neckline is to show it off! Here are 21 of our favorite wedding dresses that feature a v-neck.
