From long and airy to sweet off the shoulder details, wedding dresses are sure to be arm adorning this year. Hayley Paige has long been a shop favorite and this market only reaffirmed what we already knew with her unique approach to off-the-shoulder wedding gowns.

Capes + Wedding Dresses = Super (Fabulous) Brides

Added elements are a key factor to the Spring 2018 bridal world, not only with sleeves but with amazing add-ons like capes. What better way to wow a crowd of loved ones than with a unique cape that adds that extra layer of something special to an already amazing wedding dress. As usual Alexandra Grecco did not disappoint with her combinations of refined modern wedding gowns paired with the most exciting little details. Grecco’s pairing of flirty slip wedding gowns with amazing vine and pearl covered midi capes could excite even the most chill soul. Theia also rocked the cape in their Spring line, pairing a contemporary deep-v wedding gown with an ornately beaded full-length cape. Both looks are sure to wow this coming wedding season and each catering to a totally different bride. From the modern to the traditional, we are sure to see more of the cape trend this year!
