A High Neck Wedding Dress

A high-neck lace wedding dress is the perfect solution for traditional brides looking for a touch of modernity. Creating a dramatic but feminine silhouette, it offers a regal and elegant feel to any bridal look.

Refined high-neck wedding dresses feature throughout the Phillipa Lepley collection, requiring highly skilled craftsmanship and intricate and delicate handwork – the very best of British couture.

Phillipa is continually inspired by the natural world and unites her love of flowers with her passion for fine hand embellishment through her embroidery designs. Feminine floral embroidery lends itself beautifully to the high neck silhouette – the balance of sheer tulle and embroidery creating a look that feels timeless and demure without overpowering the bride.

Working with intricate laces sourced from the finest French mills, in the hands of the Phillipa Lepley Atelier intricate shapes are moulded to create organic flow to the design – lace can be over embroidered and cleverly placed to create just the right level of density over the body, with the delicate edgings finishing with undulating ‘scalloped’ edges.

A signature Phillipa Lepley corset forms the structured base of any Phillipa Lepley bespoke wedding dress, giving a defined silhouette that can perfectly complement a high neckline.

A high neckline wedding dress offers elegant bridal coverage; with the eye drawn to a design of embroidery or lace that dances across the neckline. The bride may opt for the lace or embroidery to finish at the waist, or cascade down over the skirt for a fully dramatic and opulent finish. Embroidered pretty cap sleeves or long sleeves complete the bridal look.

A high neckline overlay can be made detachable should a bride wish to change her look for the evening, creating two looks in one.

“Incredibly feminine, the high-neck wedding dress exudes a demure allure, gracefully lengthening the body and providing elegant coverage that speaks volumes without saying a word.”
