THOUGHTS TUESDAY #11: Long Sleeves are In

We are listening to you brides and we are going to act on everything we are hearing that you want. And the #1 thing right now? Long sleeves, long sleeves, long sleeves. Even my best friend who is coming to shop with us is obsessed with long sleeves and its a must have for her wedding dress. And this coming weekend through the 25th we have 3 events going on with some really awesome long sleeve wedding dress options. [Side note: did you know if we have a designer coming up at a Trunk Show or Pop-Up Shop you can request specific dresses + we will contact our designers directly to see if we can get it in just for you to try on. We are all about helping you find the dress of your dreams!!] Back to my blog post though... so we are loving long sleeves and according to the brides who have been coming into our shop, so are ya'll. So today I'm going to share 3 of my absolute favorite long sleeve wedding dresses we will have this upcoming weekend! But that's not all, we will have more options available and to schedule an appointment you can call (912)200-4794, e-mail ivoryandbeau@gmail.com or click here!

1. Karen Willis Holmes Bridal will be at the shop Sat October 18th - Sat October 25th. Her dresses are for the sexy bride who wants to also show a hint of her feminine side on her wedding day. This dress, Arielle, is one of my absolute favorites from her Bespoke Collection and we cannot wait to have it at the shop for brides to try on!! With the low dip in the front to the soft lace with floral appliques it is just so so pretty.

2. Oh Rebecca Schoneveld, how we love you and your bridal separates which give brides so many options to create their perfect dress. The Brooke long sleeve lace overlay is made of the softest lace and perfect for the bride who really wants to show off her girly and feminine side on her wedding day. This look is elegant and timeless. Rebecca Schoneveld's Trunk Show is only going on Thurs October 16th through Sat October 18th and her collection features some awesome bridal separate options. So if you are interested in a couture custom look without spending the money necessary for a couture custom dress then this Trunk Show is the perfect time to come shop with us.

3. For the rocker chic bride, & For Love's Celestine long sleeve lace gown is a little more edgy with a thicker lace pattern, a higher neckline and a looser fit. I am obsessed with the scalloped lace and low back detail and the low cut in the front covered by the lace. It is sexy and badass to me all at the same time. We will also have this collection Sat October 18th through Sat October 25th for those brides looking for an edgier bridal gown. 

What do you think of long sleeve lace wedding dresses? Which look is your favorite? We love to hear your feedback and we hope to see you in our shop soon to try on some of these beautiful gowns!
