Vera Wang is known for clean silhouettes and elegant style. This Japanese bride stuns in a minimalist white wedding gown with a V-cut neckline that draws attention to her elegant décolletage. The best thing about this dress is that it frames the bride's body beautifully, making her (and not her dress) the true centre of attention. 

2. Add a statement accessory

Designer Patty Ang adds a feathery shoulder piece to add depth and dimension to an otherwise minimalist dress.

Choosing the perfect neckline for your wedding gown is a fun exercise in style. For example, a scoop neck wedding gown is a chic option for brides looking to keep things simple. It frames the body beautifully and allows you to accessorise very easily. It's also much more unique than the standard sweetheart neckline that many brides are known to flock to. 

 

6. Go for distinct silhouettes
