Sleeves are In (Partnered Post)

by

We all know by now how much of a hit the Royal Wedding was with bridal dresses. Kate, and her sister, Pippa, effortlessly looked gorgeous in white, with Kate’s long laced sleeves and fairy tale trail and Pippa’s chic floor length gown and short sleeves. Which, only confirms the belief that sleeves on wedding dresses are definitely taking the lead in wedding fashion and are as gorgeous as ever! They help the dress look elegant, yet still maintain a very sexy, chic element in other areas of the dress to compliment a bride’s best feature.

Priscilla of Boston has some lovely wedding dresses this season that hide away those jiggly arms (let’s face it, we all have a little jiggle) and accentuate the better parts, like these pictured below:

Urban Outfitters recently debuted its first ever bridal collection, entitled BHLDN this past Valentine’s Day.  The brand will showcase wedding gowns, bridesmaid and party dresses, vintage-inspired jewelry, headpieces, shoes, and even lingerie.  Most wedding retailers offer only the typical “matchy matchy” bridesmaid options and standard white gown, however, Urban Outfitters dresses will promise to be timeless, less cliché, and will be offered in fun floral prints keeping with the heirloom feel of the brand.  With prices ranging from $1000–$4000 dollars for wedding gowns and $200–$600 dollars for party attire, dresses will be on par with avearge prices in the category.

By encompassing their vintage style and creating a unique line of wedding attire, Urban Outfitters is not only broadening but holding on to its current consumer market as they move through life experiences.  Bridal and Urban Outfitters, could indeed a match made in indie heaven.
