It’s time to get brave and bold, because bridal fashion is now hotter than ever. Embrace a little peek-a-boo that is elegant and playful at the same time.
The world of bridal fashion is continuously evolving. While it is inevitable that brides will always be inclined towards traditional style, every bride wants to embrace something new and unique in their wedding fashion and make a statement. It’s safe to say that in bridal fashion, the classics always remain in style, but get decorated with a new modern touch every now and often.
One such trend reclaiming the bridal couture scene is the deep neckline and cleavage. Fresh from the runways, designers are embracing these daring necklines that add an extra oomph to the bride’s elegance. It’s a perfect blend of sensuality and sophistication, redefining bridal fashion in a new light.
Worried that how can you flaunt this drama without going over the top? Team Wedding Affair is here to help you! Here’s how you can also incorporate a daring plunging neckline into your bridal look with taste, balance and style.
Choose the Right Neckline
Not every plunging neckline is meant to fit every bride perfectly. To make sure that your blouse doesn’t look like a low hanging curtain or makes it uncomfortable for you to breathe in, you need to find the right neckline that hugs your chest just perfectly.
First thing first, know your body shape. There are different blouses to fit different body shapes. A deep V-neckline elongates your neck and torso, making it perfect for petite frames with smaller bust. For brides with heavier upper body, a structured sweetheart neckline or scoops can flaunt the cleavage elegantly without making it look overexposed. For a romantic touch, off-shoulder blouses with a dip in centre can work brilliantly.
If you are not comfortable with skin show, especially for events like phere or reception, you can choose to create a sheer illusion. Like Priya Banerjee did with her bridal attire. Her Tarun Tahiliani ensemble had an ivory corset, with a sheer dupatta wrapped over playfully. It’s an amazing way to be transparent without compromising modesty in front of the guests. Later take the dupatta off and get ready for the afterparty!

Choose Necklaces to Compliment, Not Compete
A striking neckline needs a striking necklace. And it’s all about finding the right match which will shine equally against your skin without overshadowing the whole outfit. It’s a task, but not impossible.
For deep V or plunging necklines, a drop necklace is the safest choice. A statement necklace or a drop necklace with a temple style pendant will also be perfect. This way your skin show remains minimal while the glam is maximised. Just make sure you create a balance; don’t pick jewellery that will clash with your blouse. For a vivid or heavy blouse, choose a choker to show some skin. You can choose a thin choker for an event like mehendi or sangeet, or one with cascading layers for your wedding.
Sweetheart necklines pair beautifully with chokers and collar-style necklaces. You can pick more extravagant options in this case to sit snugly around your neck and cascade over your collarbone. Chunky polki pieces are a classic choice for this style. Other than chokers, layered necklaces are an amazing option too.
When you’re showing off a striking neckline, your choice of necklace can make or break the look. For deep V or plunging styles, a lariat or drop necklace that follows the line of the neckline can enhance the effect without overwhelming it. Sweetheart necklines pair beautifully with chokers or collar-style necklaces that sit snugly around the neck and frame the décolletage elegantly.
Avoid overly chunky or layered pieces that can clash with the design of the blouse. If your outfit already features intricate embroidery or embellishments near the neckline, you might even want to skip a necklace altogether and let the detailing shine. Remember, the goal is harmony — let your accessories highlight the neckline, not hide it.
Own It
In the end, it is your day. You decide what you want to wear; what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. Customise your cleavage baring look as you like, be it by adding an extra layer of coverage with veil, capes or dupatta; or flaunt it with body shimmer. The choice is yours. Own it with confidence.
