Square neck wedding dresses are the bridal trend of the summer – here's where to get the Nicola Peltz-Beckham look

It could be that Nicola Peltz-Beckham wore one when she tied the knot with Brooklyn recently, or perhaps it’s the way they provide ample space for accessorising, but we are obsessed with square neck wedding dresses.

Though they’re simple, chic and maintain the right balance between retro and modern, square neck wedding dresses aren’t as common as you may think. People tend to favour a sweetheart, off-the-shoulder, halterneck or plunging alternative for the simple fact that there are more of them in stores.

Take note from Nicola, though, and you’ll see how universally flattering a square neck wedding gown can really be. Offering enough coverage for those with bigger busts, while also lending a complementary shape to those with smaller chests, the silhouette makes its case as to why necklines are one detail that shouldn’t be overlooked when shopping for your ‘big day’ frock.

The exact square neck wedding dress Nicola wore to say “I do” in was a product of Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s team. It apparently took a year in the making, plus two trips to the Rome HQ and two US fittings (as well as the head seamstresses journeying to Miami on the) to make sure every detail was immaculate. Though yours might not need as much TLC, you’ll still want it to look just as perfect.
