Your wedding dress and hairstyle should work in perfect harmony. The neckline of your dress plays a crucial role in determining which hairstyle will showcase both your gown and your features. Let me guide you through the best hairstyle choices for every neckline.
Strapless Necklines
Strapless gowns beautifully showcase your shoulders and collarbone.
Best Choices: Elegant updos work brilliantly, chignons, romantic low buns, or braided upstyles. Half-up styles offer a softer feel whilst still showing off shoulders.
Sweetheart Necklines
The romantic curved shape works with almost any hairstyle.
Best Choices: Side-swept styles are gorgeous, whether updo, low side ponytail, or hair over one shoulder. Loose, romantic updos with face-framing pieces match the romantic vibe.
V-Neck
V-necks create an elongating vertical line.
Best Choices: Sleek updos complement clean lines beautifully. Half-up, half-down creates lovely balance. Side-parted down styles echo the diagonal lines.
Off-Shoulder
Off-shoulder gowns sit just below the shoulders.
Best Choices: Updos are essential, low buns, chignons, or nape-level upstyles showcase the shoulder lines. Side-swept updos add asymmetry.
High Neck and Halter
Modern and dramatic.
Best Choices: Sleek updos only, elegant chignons, sophisticated buns, or ballerina-style updos. High ponytails look chic with modern dresses.
One Shoulder
Bold and asymmetrical.
Best Choices: Sweep hair opposite from the strap for balance. Updos showcase both shoulders.
Final Thoughts
The perfect pairing is about balance and proportion. If you love a particular hairstyle and feel amazing wearing it, that confidence will shine through.
