Can I Show Some Cleavage in My Wedding Dress?

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Almost any bride would say that her wedding dress is one of the most important components to her special day. There are television shows specifically dedicated to dresses, as well as complete fashion lines by famous designers. 

Needless to say, the dress is a big deal. 

If you’re going to be a bride, finding your perfect wedding dress doesn’t have to be an overwhelming experience. In fact, it should be a fun, exciting one. In order for you to enjoy it, you should look at dresses that speak to your personality and your individual sense of style. 

But, what if a dress you like is a bit low-cut? Is it okay to show a bit of cleavage in your wedding dress?

What to Consider

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=”align_left” el_width=”50″][vc_column_text]There are several factors that can play into your decision about a wedding dress. While the dress you end up with is ultimately your decision, it’s best not to jump into things without thinking them through. A dress might stand out to you at first, but consider some of the following before you decide whether it’s “the one”: [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

  • What is your culture or the culture of your spouse? Does that particular culture have any strict ‘rules’ when it comes to how people should dress, especially for formal events? 
  • Are you religious? Would a low-cut dress feel appropriate? 
  • What is the environment? If you are getting married in a church, is it the right setting for a dress that shows cleavage? 
  • What would your partner think about the dress?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Keep in mind that while all of these considerations should be taken into account, none of them should be your one deciding factor. Ultimately, there is no “yes” or “no” answer when it comes to the dress you choose and its notable features. But, if you’re on the fence about it, these factors can certainly come into play to help you make your decision.

What Makes You Feel Good

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=”align_left” el_width=”50″][vc_column_text]Perhaps the biggest factor you should take into consideration is how you feel in a low-cut dress. 

That’s why it’s so important to try different dresses on. Maybe you like the way a low neckline looks on the rack, but you aren’t crazy about it on yourself. Or, maybe you thought you wanted something a bit more conservative, but you tried on a dress that shows some cleavage and you love it. 

Whatever the case, make sure the dress you choose makes you feel your best. Do you want to feel beautiful? Elegant? Sexy? Strong? There are dresses that can capture every one of those feelings, so determine the look and feel you’re going for, and try on dresses with an open mind.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

How to Show Cleavage While Looking Elegant

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=”align_left” el_width=”50″][vc_column_text]If you do end up deciding on a dress that shows some cleavage, there are plenty of ways to make it look classy and elegant. Keep some of these tips in mind to make that dress work for you, as well as your guests:[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

  • Don’t go too low. While you’re the one wearing the dress and the one who should love it the most, you don’t want to offend any guests or make them uncomfortable. Try to compromise on the neckline if you really want a dress that shows off your skin. 
  • Speaking of compromise, a shawl or cover-up is a great way to keep yourself more reserved during certain moments of the wedding. You can remove it whenever you’d like, especially for your wedding photographs when you really want to show off the dress.
  • Make sure other parts of your dress are conservative and offer sufficient coverage. Having a longer, fuller dress is a great way to contrast showing some cleavage. Doing so will make you look elegant and regal. Now isn’t the time to show off a lot of leg, midriff, etc.

Should You Show Some Skin?

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=”align_left” el_width=”50″][vc_column_text]In the end, the decision to show some cleavage in your wedding dress is entirely up to you. Hopefully, some of these ideas and suggestions will help you to make the right decision for your special day. But, remember, it’s about how you feel and not anyone else. You want to be able to look back at your wedding day and remember loving every bit of it, including what you were wearing. 

So, if you want to ‘say yes’ to a dress that shows some cleavage and you feel confident that it won’t cause any major issues on your wedding day, you should wear it with pride and confidence. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
