Necklines, backs, sleeves: the hottest wedding fashion trends 2021

A wedding dress with lace sleeves is an unshakable classic of wedding fashion. Such outfits look feminine and elegant. They are ideal for creating romantic images, highlight the elegance of the hands, allow you to hide problem areas and focus on the advantages of your figure.

Lace sleeves come in different textures, lengths and shapes:

• varying degrees of transparency;
• decorated with exquisite patterns in plant or other themes;
• long and short;
• tight-fitting and curvy.

Such variety allows you to choose a beautiful dress for every taste. Models with long sleeves are especially relevant for weddings organized in the cold season and for weddings. For weddings in the off-season, dresses with 3/4 sleeves are optimal, and for summer weddings - models with short sleeves that slightly cover the shoulders.

A little history

The art of lace making originated in Ancient Egypt. To create openwork ornaments, colored threads were initially used, which were laid out on linen canvases. In Ancient Hellas, gold threads were used to decorate fabrics. The lace we are familiar with originated in the 15th century in Flanders and soon became widespread in Italy. Its characteristic feature is the interlacing of threads without the use of fabric.

In the Middle Ages, lace fabrics were a luxury - clothes made from them were worn by representatives of the royal courts. Often such outfits were decorated with pearls, beads and gold embroidery. The first bride to wear a lace wedding dress was the French Queen Anne of Brittany. Since then, patterned fabrics have been used to sew luxurious wedding dresses. At first, lace was woven from silk and linen threads, and later from cotton. Nowadays synthetic and mixed threads are often used to weave lace.

Varieties of lace

The choice of lace fabrics is impressive in variety. Often when sewing wedding dresses the following are used:

Benefits of lace sleeves

The openwork weaving of threads impresses with its beautiful texture and elegant patterns, easily drapes and harmoniously combines with other materials - satin, chiffon, tulle, crepe. Dresses with lace sleeves add restraint and elegance to the image, emphasizing the modesty, femininity and natural charm of the bride, her regal posture and figure dignity.

Such wedding dresses are presented in our catalog with many exquisite models of various styles. Among them there are maximally closed wedding dresses, models with an open back, a seductive shoulder line and neckline, and luxurious dresses with a train. A rich assortment of models allows you to choose and buy an outfit that is ideally suited to the characteristics of the bride’s figure, fully consistent with her preferences and the theme of the wedding.

Types of dresses - photos

Long sleeves of a formal dress go perfectly with open shoulders or a bare back. Rich sleeve trim is welcome, along with modest skirt decor. If the bride is tall, a straight floor-length dress with long sleeves and a slit in the skirt will be the ideal choice.

A short

Idea! Often a removable train is attached to a short dress, which adds solemnity to the look.

Short dresses are a completely logical choice: it is not always convenient to move around in a long skirt with a train. The only requirement for the bride in this case is beautiful legs. The top of such a dress should be covered with at least a guipure insert. But the sleeves can be quite bright.

Lace with train

The train is sewn to the dress or fixed with small buttons, which is very convenient - it can be unfastened after the official part of the celebration is completed. The train should be combined with the sleeves, and more often they are sewn from light fabrics , such as chiffon, so as not to weigh down the outfit.

Usually the train is attached to the waist, with the exception of the Watteau train, which, when combined with an Empire style dress, is attached not to the waist, but to the back and can be flush with the skirt or slightly longer.

A completely satin outfit with a train is very popular. Satin, shiny on the front side and matte on the back, allows you to play with the contrast of textures in an original way. For a very long train, satin charmeuse is suitable in this case.

The lace dress with the train looks amazing. In this case, the bodice, sleeves and train are lace, and the skirt is made of silk or satin.

Curvy

Curvy models usually have an A-shaped skirt, a closed neck or a shallow neckline. If the skirt is very full, then the sleeves should be no longer than the elbows and tight-fitting. Beautiful models with lace sleeves and back.

A good option would be an outfit with long sleeves with a closed neckline, but an open back and a full skirt.

Winter with closed back

This outfit looks very aristocratic, and its choice speaks of the bride’s refined taste and modesty. A “blank” dress is an indispensable option for a winter wedding. Dresses with a closed back often have a stand-up collar, which gives the hostess a regal appearance.

The closed shoulders and back allow for lace trim, which makes the toilet very elegant. The combination of thick dress fabric and translucent trim is perfect. Light fabrics are used to decorate the arms, shoulders and décolleté area.

A good option for a winter dress for brides who are not too petite is a low-cut style with a bodice, back and sleeves made of lace or transparent fabric with beautiful patterns.

Closed in front with long sleeves and an open open back - this wedding dress looks extravagant and impressive!

For pregnant

The expectant mother needs to remember that the outfit is purchased a week before the celebration. In an interesting position, the volume of the figure changes rapidly, while the girth of the arms also increases. The option of a dress “for growth” will not work here either, since it is impossible to predict how the figure will behave even in a week, let alone a month.

The dress should not put pressure on the body, so corsets and tight-fitting models are not considered. Even for a short period of time, a dress with a loose silhouette is perfect. The fabric should be breathable, and it is better if elastic material is used for the sleeves.

Pregnant women can choose any model, except corset and mermaid dresses. In the early stages, a dress with a tight-fitting bodice, but without a corset, is suitable. An emphasis on the neckline and full skirt is welcome. Sleeves are made of the same material as the dress, or fabrics of contrasting density.

Idea! An outfit made from the same fabric with a low waist, a flared skirt and long sleeves is also good. This model will make your figure slimmer.

A Greek-style dress with a high waist and a flowing skirt is another popular option. It is suitable even for long periods of time, as it disguises the tummy well.

A trapeze dress does not draw attention to the waist at all, but a woman can wear her hair high and choose bright accessories if the decor of the outfit is simple, or, on the contrary, if the decoration is rich, minimize jewelry.

In the later stages, you may like a short dress to the knees or a little lower , since with a large belly and a floor-length skirt, the bride risks looking like a haystack. Long sleeves are perfect for this style.

As for color, there are no special requirements, but it is believed that bright shades are acceptable in the early stages, and in the last trimester it is better to stick to calm, pastel colors.

Seductive fishtail outfits

Wedding dresses with lace sleeves and a fish or mermaid silhouette are an excellent choice for slender brides with a proportional physique. These outfits:

• effectively fit the figure and emphasize its advantages - feminine curves, thin waist, beautiful back line, graceful arms and shoulders;
• create a gentle and sensual image of the bride;
• look bold and luxurious;
• help maintain a balance between sexuality and restraint of the created image;
• look great on girls of any height with a slender, proportional figure.

The abundance of wedding dresses in the fishtail style allows you to choose an option with the desired shape and sleeve length, different designs of the neckline, closed or open back. In addition to the sleeves, other elements of such outfits are often created from lace - the top part, trim details, skirt, train.

Important Tips

There are many sleeve options, including:

• Long, reaching to the wrist;
• Three quarters, descends to the middle of the forearm;
• Short, the length extends to the middle of the shoulder, opening the arms;
• Straight, goes in one line, free;
• Tapered, served as a decorative element in disco style dresses;
• Widened towards the bottom, starts narrow at the shoulder, ends with a wide sleeve depending on its length.

To determine the choice of a suitable model, you need to consider the following recommendations:

• Puffed sleeves are good for girls with narrow shoulders;
• Long sleeves and three-quarter sleeves are suitable for overweight brides. It is advisable to choose models that are not completely tight-fitting in shape, since they can stretch unwanted areas of the arms. It is best to choose flowing and light fabrics, as well as a loose fit;
• If the bride has wide hips, then long sleeves can properly balance the girl’s figure. In addition, such sleeves will add a couple of centimeters to short brides, emphasizing their charm and elegance;
• When the shoulders are proportional to the figure, you can forget about carefully selecting a dress. Any cut and any sleeve length will suit these brides;
• In addition to long sleeves, short brides can consider options with high hairstyles, as they will not only add luxury to the image, but will also significantly elongate their height.

Straight dresses with lace sleeves

Models with a straight silhouette emphasize the advantages of the figure and allow you to hide possible flaws, enchant with the natural beauty of the silhouette and are suitable for celebrations in various styles. These outfits are great for creating elegant, feminine looks. They look harmonious on brides of any height and age, are as comfortable as possible to wear and are suitable for owners of various body types.

Lace sleeves give dresses of a straight silhouette a special charm and a unique twist. Sometimes they are the only detail of an outfit made of lace, but more often a corset, skirt trim or other elements of a wedding dress are created from identical material. Straight models with long lace sleeves are perfect for weddings and weddings in the cooler months. 3/4 length sleeves help create an elegant, aristocratic look, while lightweight cropped sleeves add playfulness and sophistication.

Veil as an addition to a wedding dress

It is important that these two details are combined with each other; for this you should choose them at the same time or select a veil to match the previously chosen dress. This approach will allow you to determine which type of veil will complement your outfit more effectively.

First, the key accent of the dress is determined. If it is a corset embroidered with beads or rhinestones, an open back, or a lace insert, then the veil is chosen so long as not to cover the decorating element. Or choose a long transparent veil without unnecessary details, through which the decor of the dress will be visible.

The style of the dress dictates its own rules for choosing a veil. For example, a classic dress requires a simple, symmetrical veil without any pretentiousness.

The romantic look is characterized by soft elements and looks gentle with a veil with simple edges. A formal dress for the bride welcomes the selection of a more complex and interesting veil. However, a simple veil will go perfectly with a dress with many decorative elements, and the image will look very attractive. A layered dress goes well with a thick veil edge.

The edges of the veil can also repeat the decorating detail of the wedding dress.

A-line dresses with lace sleeves

A-line dresses (princess style) with beautiful lace sleeves are an excellent choice for girls who want to give their figure an hourglass shape and visually elongate the silhouette. Such models have:

• a one-piece A-shape cut with a narrow top and a flowing skirt that gradually widens at the bottom;
• comfortable fit - with a perfect fit to the chest and waist, back support and a feeling of freedom in movement;
• elegant and feminine look;
• the ability to add elegance and romance to the created images.

The abundance of “princess” style dresses with lace sleeves of various shapes and lengths, various design options for the neckline, back, skirt and train opens up wide possibilities for choosing a wedding dress. A-line models are universal, but they best adorn brides with a proportional physique or with narrow hips and broad shoulders.

Lush wedding dresses with lace sleeves

Wedding dresses with full skirts and short lace sleeves are an excellent choice for creating a princess look. These models:

• embody original designer views on classic styles;
• harmonize body proportions;
• look impressive and solemn in reality and in the photo;
• create a romantic mood;
• Perfectly suit tall, slender girls;
• allow you to emphasize a beautiful chest, graceful waist, seductive shoulder line;
• relevant for creating clean and delicate images;
• combine majestic beauty, romance and sophistication.

Fluffy dresses with openwork sleeves are perfect for the official part of a wedding event and for brides who are not going to be active that day. They are designed for leisurely movements, slow dancing and luxurious photo shoots.

Shoes

Of course, in winter the bride has certain difficulties with shoes. Not many girls would dare to walk along the snow-covered paths from the wedding limousine to the Wedding Palace in open shoes.

Fortunately, today it is not at all necessary to freeze in sandals, because there are very impressive shoe models that go perfectly with a wedding dress.

Especially for brides who do not want to risk their health and still look graceful and elegant, stylists suggest paying attention to openwork ankle boots with satin laces and golden eyelets.

Luxurious boots will make a wonderful tandem with a wedding dress and will keep your feet warm. By the way, you don’t have to change your shoes in a restaurant.

If you are planning a long walk that includes a photo shoot, it is better to choose beautiful boots, embroidered with rhinestones, silver and gold fittings, and trimmed with fur.

The length of the boot depends on what kind of dress you are wearing - long or short. In the first case, preference should be given to ankle boots, in the second - high boots or over the knee boots.

Well, stylized felt boots or ugg boots embroidered with beads, embroidery and sequins will make an ideal pair with a knitted dress.

Tips for choosing wedding dresses with lace sleeves

For a wedding ceremony, many girls choose dresses with long sleeves. Such outfits do not require an additional cape or bolero. They are ideal for creating a natural bridal look that has always been associated with purity and modesty.

To determine the appropriate type of sleeve, consider the following recommendations:

1. Puffy lace sleeves will help balance out wide hips.
2. If you need to emphasize the waist in a sporty figure, puffed sleeves will come to the rescue.
3. Long sleeves allow you to hide severe thinness or fullness of the shoulders, moles on the arms, birthmarks, scars, tattoos or goose bumps.
4. The three-quarter length is universal, suitable for owners of all body types. It acts as a “golden mean” between long and short sleeves, making the style more closed, but at the same time not restricting movement.
5. Short sleeves add modesty to the look, but do not hide the grace of the hands.

Winter wedding dresses for a second marriage 2021, chic options, photos
