17 One-Shoulder Wedding Dresses for Every Type of Bride
See why the one-shoulder wedding dress neckline is universally flattering (and about to be the next big thing) with these looks we spotted at Bridal Fashion Week.
You heard it here first: the one-shoulder wedding dress neckline is making a comeback. It's been a few years—a decade, basically—since this style was last popular, but we're pretty excited to see it bubbling up again. You can think of the one-shoulder neckline as the bridal industry's sweet spot between two other throwback styles we've seen a lot of lately: long sleeves inspired by royal wedding gowns and super-thin spaghetti straps inspired by the rebirth of '90s fashion. This eye-catching neckline is excellent for any fashion-forward bride who wants to get ahead of the curve, and it's easy to pull off no matter your wedding style or budget. Whether you're going for a look that's glamorous, romantic, or timeless, we're betting there's a one-shoulder dress to match.
