Fall 2010 Wedding Fashion: Gowns with Sleeves

dena — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 01:25:28 +0000

Wedding gowns come in myriad shapes, styles, and silhouettes, lots of interesting materials and embellishments, but there’s one thing they often have in common. More often than not they’re strapless, and that does get tedious!

That’s why I’m loving these new fall fashions with sleeves! Long sleeves, cap sleeves, sheer sleeves, lace sleeves… sleeves, glorious sleeves! Not only are they pretty, but they’re great for the blushing bride who wants to cover up a bit, or the bride who just doesn’t like the strapless look.

During Bridal Fashion Week, top designers to show off their new lines, and give us a glimpse into what’s hot in this season’s wedding fashion. Here are some wedding dress trends you’ll love! Look for them to hit your local bridal salon this spring.

’50s Flair

Bridal designers are loving belted gowns, high necklines, tulle skirts, and tea-length dresses. Dress by Anne Barge via the Knot.

Tulle

Tulle can be tricky to get right– you want to look ethereal without feeling like a little girl in a party dress. Artful draping combined with stunning bead-work make tulle the perfect combination in this Vera Wang dress, via AllWomensTalk

Black is Back

Bits of black make wedding dress details pop, from bows and sashes to bolder embellishments and patterns. Dress by Jenny Packham via the Knot.

Asymmetrical Necklines

The one-shoulder style is gaining popularity. But this season, over-the-top details are what really makes them stand out. Dress by Anne Bowen via the Knot. See more one-shoulder wedding dresses.

Bows

These knots are hot, from droopy satin bows to more structured ones! Bows give your dress a feminine look that’s not too girly. Dress by Amsale via the Knot. See more wedding dresses with bows

Flower Power

We love the burst of springtime blooms, whether it’s cherry-blossom details or embroidered, eye-catching rosettes. Dress by Claire Pettibone via the Knot. See more dresses with flowers.

Illusion Necklines

Sheer straps are the perfect coverage if you want something subtle and sexy. Whether it’s bateau, V-neck, or even one-shoulder, this look is dreamy! Dress by Melissa Sweet via the Knot.

Metallic Prints

If black details are not your thing, consider this hot, new style glittering in gold and silver details. Dress by Christos via the Knot.

Top it off

To finish the look, designers are adding a hat! Whether it’s something dainty and demure with a birdcage veil, or a large, droopy picture hat, this is one trend we take our hats off to! Carolina Herrera via AllWomensTalk
