Elegantly Divine: Full-Sleeve Bridal Inspirations

Full-sleeve bridals are our latest obsession these days, so how could we not write a blog post about this super elegant look? Check out some of the styles we love below:

The Mahira Khan-esque Chiffon Sleeve
Yes, we named a category after Mahira Khan. Not only because we love her, but because she is probably the best model for full-sleeves. She somehow manages to carry them so beautifully. Chiffon sleeves are perfect if you prefer a lighter look for your wedding. Or, they would be perfect for your mehndi outfit! Notice that the sleeves on the yellow dress are actually ruched from the wrist to about half way up the arm to give a churidaar effect. Brilliant!

Parkha Khan



Samer Usama




The Embellished Arm
I don’t think this category needs an explanation. The pictures below speak for themselves. Oh so divine!
Sana Safinaz
Bunto Kazmi
The outfit on the right is SO something Mahira Khan would wear! She even looks like her! 
Elan
Emerald stones on the sleeves are just gorgeous!



The Cuff Sleeve

Taking it a step further from the Embellished Arm, this style eliminates the need for bracelets. Beautiful and practical? We’re sold!

The Royal Jacket
Okay, so this is probably our favourite style. A regal jacket paired with full sleeves is just drool-worthy.

Runway to Reality: Modern Royalty

Check out this stunning bridal by HSY that a bride recently wore to her wedding. We love how the non-traditional pairing of plum and orange still looks regal with the intricate embroidery on the outfit. It looks even more beautiful on the real bride, in our opinion ;)
