Dress for mature bride

ginap531

Getting married in NYC in October, I am a first time older bride and I am not looking to do the princess dress.  Looking for something simple and elegant, with sleeves, any ideas?

I am an "older" bride. Neither of the dresses I will be wearing on my wedding day have sleeves, but I will be wearing a matching chiffon wrap with both dresses.  There are lots of non-princess dresses out there for us brides. Have fun dress shopping!

Here are a few I think are gorgeous:

I am an older first time bride also. I found a chiffon halter dress for the reception, which I will be wearing tea length so I can have a lot of FUN!

It's from this designer, but discontinued. It's a "destination bridal" gown, which is usually less "princessy"

This retailer has stores, but you can also order online

I'd recommend looking into destination type gowns.

You can also find "non-bridal" type white gowns with sleeves at many retailers. If you can't find a dress with sleeves, you can always find lace or satin boleros.

Good luck.

I think these three are lovely... I did consider them for myself, but then changed my mind for using a dress with a bolero...
