Practical dresses and major sleeves

Wedding dresses are changing at a quite pace. Impressive gowns, princess skirts, and long veils are always in demand. More and more brides turn towards sustainable wedding dresses made from eco-friendly and recycled materials. As comfortable as they are minimalist, some of these dresses can be worn through every key moment of the wedding and after the event.

But there are plenty of surprises in the 2019 collections, says vogue. “Designers introduced playful new feathered embellishments, and since royal weddings tend to influence the bridal market—we’re still seeing long-sleeved lace gowns like the one Kate Middleton wore in 2011—there were a few nods to Meghan Markle’s sculptural, minimalist Givenchy gown, too.”

On the other part of the spectrum, brides of 2019 will be wearing gowns with lace sleeves. According to theindependent, the brides will also seek out trains that aren’t too long, so as to provide seamless day-to-night transitions. Speaking of practicality, here are some wedding dates to avoid in 2019 and 2020.
