Halter wedding dresses are perfect for brides who intend to show their sexy back and shoulder blades.

A halter neck design empowers the brides to expose most of their backs by almost invisibly supporting the dress around the neck or the arms with thin straps.

As this description suggests there are many different types of halter necks. Here is an illustration of some traditional types:

As a bride if you are thinking of having a halter neck wedding dress you probably will face such traditional designs with a classic strap around the neck.

Justin Alexander's halter bridal gown design is an example of a sweetheart neckline supported by a halter strap.

While Amy Kuschel's halter neck wedding dress below sets forth a v-neckline.

Both halter neckline designs can be flattering for brides with a large or small bust size. 

Portia de Rossi's Zac Posen halter wedding gown is my favorite halter design hands down. It has a classic v-neck halter around the neck in the form of a tuxedo vest. As casual as this neckline might look at first sight with its loose front (by the way very flattering for small busted brides), its justoposition with a pink tulle princessy long skirt is just classicaly feminine and pure sexy.

If you love grecian fashion consider the following halter wedding dresses that drape over the brides bodies with the flow only broken by a circular band.

In the x-neck empire waist halter gown the circular band lies below the bustline and in the v-neck halter gown the circular band lies at the natural waist. 

If you love vintage fashion you might be inspired by these two halter bridal gowns.

The x-neck design of Taylor Swift's Emilio Pucci white halter dress below also highlights the bust area and waist line. This wedding dress style is recommended for brides with a petite figure and a smaller bust size.

The x-factor in these high neck halter wedding gowns is in the x-shape neckline! 

Jenny Packham has gracefully highlighted the bust area by clipping the front of the dress to a strap that goes around the shoulder arms leaving the full neck and back exposed. This dress can be very flattering for a bride with a swimmer's body shape. 

Leave it up to top model Cindy Crawford and new trendsetting star Amanda Seyfried to unleash the heat of halter neck line dresses. Both dresses have the traditional ring strap around the neck plus a sexy cleavage hole in the bust area.

Cindy Crawford in Roberto Cavalli design and Amanda Seyfried in an Alexander McQueen design, both look empowered by their dresses and beautiful in their skins.

I couldn't resist but also present to you how Freida Pinto and Jennifer Hudson effortlessly raised the halter neck line design onto the sexy map and onto the red carpets of Hollywood!
