If you’d prefer a traditional dress, there are loads of options open to older brides. You have many options –from flattering empire-line fashions to lace and sparkly details–which your very first step must be to restrict your personal design tastes. Ask yourself these questions:

When you’re heading into a formal occasion would you really go for out opulence or understated chic?

Would you like smooth silks or tulle textures?

Do you prefer modern clean lines or floaty, ethereal contours?

Remain true to your tastes, to be sure you feel relaxed and comfy on your big moment.

Long Lace Sleeves

If you would like to keep your upper arms covered up, it can be daunting to see the endless rails of strapless dresses in many bridal boutiques. But you don’t have to compromise on style if you would prefer a dress with sleeves! In fact, many of this season’s fashions make sleeves the focus. Long lace sleeves reveal a sign of skin but provide enough coverage to be certain you feel comfortable.
