Red Sun by Pronovias Atelier available at Knutsford Wedding Gallery “The 2020 season is all about big sleeves. Taking their influence from the 80s, these gowns showcase modern couture glamour and style. Pronovias Atelier does this so well with many of their designs in the new collection, and one gown in particular stands out - the beautiful Red Sun. It’s an innovative mermaid gown with a soft crepe composition that folds into an elegant V-neckline. The bow-like puffed sleeves culminate in a line of buttons down the back, flowing into a long, dramatic train.” – Camilla, Knutsford Wedding Gallery Filipa by Modeca available at Elizabeth Louise Bridal Boutique “Sleeves have made numerous appearances in bridal fashion throughout the years, and 2020 is definitely their year! There’s simply nothing better than a form-fitting, lace applique sleeve.” – Hannah & Hollie, Elizabeth Louise Bridal Boutique Blammo Biamo available at Dressology by Cristiana “If you love the trending puffy 80s-inspired sleeves, but worry about overdoing it, keep your accessories simple. Alternatively, if you aren’t ready to fully commit, go for detachable sleeves that you can remove for the reception or after party.” – Cristiana, Dressology by Cristiana SLEEVE THEM WANT ING MORE !
