Wedding Dresses with Sleeves

Lately I've been invited to a lot of weddings and the brides have all been gorgeous. For years the strapless gown has reigned. I would like to see bridal gown designers offer a larger selection of gowns with sleeves for those who would prefer them. Here are a few I found at www.allurebridals.com.

While looking on etsy.com for a vintage wedding dress for a friend of mine, I found these beautiful dresses that are perfect for a hippie style boho wedding. Most of them are Victorian/Edwardian revival from the 1970's with a few "prairie" looks thrown in. If you want a little more coverage in some lacy areas, they can be easily lined.
