It’s getting cold outside, my friends. Gone is the season of sexy illusion dresses and here we are in the midst of winter wedding dresses. I know, that happened fast, right? It’s the time of year that the fashion folx bless us with all the wedding dresses with sleeves (big and small), lots of layers, and the most luxurious fabrics.
Personally speaking, I love wedding dresses with sleeves. I like that they add a statement and ooze sophistication while doubling as a practical way to keep warm (like my order of priorities there?) Plus, with all the options for embellishments like sequins or embroidery in addition to a wide array of sleeve styles there’s a dress for every winter wedding setting. If you’re planning on getting hitched at home or just want to go ALL OUT for your elopement, let’s get you a wedding dress with sleeves to warm you up this season.
And believe it or not, I’m pretty certain there’s a wedding dress with sleeves out there for everyone. Whether you’re into a minimal sleeve a la Meghan Markle, statement sleeves like Celine Dion or you fall somewhere in between like most folx you’ve got options and plenty of them. And if you’re not in the market for a winter wedding dress, join us in a little #escapism. It’s time to go shopping!
