An ornate, detailed neckline can give the support of a strapped dress without actually using them. Detailed necklines are perfect for the bride who doesn't want to show too much skin on the day but still want a little bit of wow factor.

Sheer details at the neckline- embellished or not- show off your collar bone and draw eyes up toward your face. Depending on the fabric quality, it can create a “second skin” effect, where it almost looks like lace detailing is tattooed or painted onto the back or neckline.

If you don't want a neckline that's fully covered, you can also opt for a minimal neckline that will give the same coverage and wow factor, but on a slightly smaller scale. This look pairs perfectly with the high neck trend sweeping bridal shows and dresses across the country at the moment.
