What Kind Of Necklace to Wear With V Neck Wedding Dress?
When choosing wedding jewelery to coordinate with your gown, mimic the wedding gown's neckline. A Y drop pendant necklace goes well with a V neck gown. If your dress is low in back too, choose a lariat pendant necklace which has a Y drop pendant in the front and jewels that hang down in the back for a double sided flare!
