So sleeves aren’t necessarily a new trend for bridal gowns, but they are experiencing a renaissance in 2017. The long-sleeved gowns of now couldn’t be done any other way. Without the additional fabric cascading down the arms, these gowns would feel like unfinished works of art. A long-sleeved gown fills several roles, too. Perfect for a winter wedding, a bride who wants just a bit more coverage, and both young and seasoned brides alike, the long-sleeved number is not ready to call it quits. Having just that extra bit of white, however, gives brides a perfect opportunity to throw in some color with a pair of unexpected pumps or nail polish.
