Help: Sleeves/lace Straps on Wedding Dress!!??

Morgan, on February 9, 2018 at 11:32 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
Helllooo,

So I should be receiving my dress this month, and I'm starting to narrow down my accessories. However, my dress has spaghetti straps, which was one thing I never wanted, but I knew I loved everything else about it. Now I'm stuck on whether or not I should add lace cap sleeves (and maybe ruin the shape of the back) or wear some kind of Cape/bolero/shrug. Ideas? Has anyone else dealt with changing straps on their dress? I also am thinking of doing a simple fingertip drop veil (á la Duchess of Cambridge, but probably w/out lace edging).

Would love to hear others' ideas and what worked or didn't work for you!

    Yes, when I was there they were showing me sample lace straps that can be added... Just don't want to change the back too much and didn't know if versatility was like a better way to go... Thanks, I'm hoping I like it when I go to try it on!

    Here is my dress.. the straps are just pinned in place in this picture. But they will be attached and removable. I think they just add something to the dress.

    Looove your dress, what a beautiful skirt!! Yes, that's kind of what they did was pin them on to show me... So yours will just be pinned for your day of, and they'll be removable?

    I think she's attaching them with little hooks.

    I don't think sleeves will look bad! I Have been looking at dresses with long lace sleeves and a low back! Your dress is beautiful!!

    I tried on one similar and loved it, but totally agree about the spaghetti straps. I’ve been told a good seamstress can put straps/sleeves on and make it look seamless as if it was designed that way. If you have time, see about ordering the exact lace. That’s what I’ve done. Though I think tulle would also look good with yours.
