Liv Harris: Strapless Wedding Dress
When it comes to shopping for your dream wedding dress, there are various necklines to consider depending on the statement you want to make. While something A-line and boat neck symbolizes a more conservative, traditional wedding look, a sheath with a deep V-neck, can showcase a more fun and flirty side. But one of the most popular necklines in couture collections, if not the most popular neckline, remains the strapless wedding dress.
Simply stated, the strapless neckline extends from one underarm to the other without the support of straps. Paired with a sweetheart or straight-across square bodice, the strapless neckline draws attention horizontally across your body, making it a popular choice for busty brides, or those who have strong, prominent shoulders and well-toned arms. It continues to be a favorite year after year—plus, you can find affordable strapless dresses at any price point.
To give you an idea of current inventory, here are some affordable strapless wedding gowns available at VOWS Bridal Outlet and Bridepower.com.
