Trend Alert: Off-the-Shoulder Wedding Gowns

If you’re following the biggest wedding dress trends for 2013 and 2014, you’ve certainly seen the off-the-shoulder gown. It’s a designer favorite this year, and a great style that offers a timeless glamour perfect for any Arizona bride.

It’s particularly good for a vintage wedding. If you’re planning a 1940s or 1950s style vintage wedding, an off-the-shoulder gown is a great touch of golden age Hollywood. Think about the fabulous styles of Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Sophia Loren and you’re certain to think of off-the-shoulder gowns. Paired with a full skirt, it’s a great vintage wedding choice.

Of course, it’s also great for an unthemed wedding. The off-the-shoulder styles give you the long neckline of a strapless dress, but add something extra special to the look. They can also give you a bit more coverage. With some styles including the equally trendy sleeves, you can keep your arms covered without feeling overwhelmed.

Worried About Your Arms? This Fabulous Bridal Trend Is Perfect For You!

Whether you’re toned or not, many brides are self-conscious about showing their arms. If you’re worried about strapless or cap sleeve styles showing off more than you want, one of the year’s biggest trends is perfect for you. Sleeved wedding gowns are a huge trend for 2013 and 2014 bridal styles.

The trend has been going for a few years – since Kate Middleton wore that famous Alexander McQueen gown for her wedding to Prince William – but is really taking the bridal runways by storm for the rest of the year and next year.

This is because there are now many variations on the trend. While many designers are offering looks similar to Kate’s dress – with an illusion neckline and full-length lace sleeves – there are other styles available, too. 

These include shorter sleeve lengths that are perfect for hiding upper arms, off-the-shoulder styles that can show off your neckline while still covering your arms, and non-lace sleeves.

With so many different sleeved styles available, there’s sure to be a style you’ll fall in love with! To find out more about sleeved wedding dresses, or to find the wedding dress of your dreams, come by our Gilbert bridal salon today!
