Winter is here and if the 29° temperature reading isn’t enough to persuade you, it snowed today!  If you’re planning a gorgeous, yet frosty winter wedding, you’re probably considering other factors in your dress than just the style.

It was difficult enough to find non-strapless dresses for my 2008 wedding and it seems the trend is still going strong.

If your heart is set on long sleeves, don’t despair.  I scoured the Internet for designer dresses with long sleeved-options and below are some of the delightful results.  If you still aren’t satisfied with the choices, there’s always a custom possibility and don’t forget about the wonderfully talented Etsy sellers either.

Ahh, Etsy. Once more you have inspired, awed, and allowed me to discover talented designers and beautiful creations.  Armour sans Anguish (such an original name) is the showcase for romantic designs spun entirely from recycled materials.

Gone are the days of bridesmaids competing with Frankenstein’s bride as many brides are opting for complementary and gorgeous styles for their entourage.  So if you’re the sort of bride who likes to court the unconventional, check out Tawny’s one-of-a-kind garments that will surely leave a smile on each of your friends’ faces.

There’s not much to say about James Clifford, whose bridal gowns are the epitome of classic beauty.  He’s dazzled me once again with his 2011 fall collection.  From strapless to off-the-shoulder, tulle to satin, there’s certain to be a selection for everyone.
