With summer just around the corner, we've noticed a rise in brides looking for short sleeve alternatives for the big day so we thought we'd give you a helping hand. Whether you're planning a wedding of grandeur or an intimate destination wedding, here's a little snippet of our short sleeve bridal range.

On or off sleeves with the Francesca Maxi Ivory

Our Francesca Maxi gives an illusion of Grecian splendour. With a crossover neckline and grow-on sleeves that can be worn on or off-the-shoulder, this maternity dress fits and flatters in all the right places.

No sleeves in the Nicola Gown in Ivory

Similar to the Francesca, we've taken our classic knee-length dress details and softly shaped them into an opulent gown to create a maternity bridal look that suits your changing body shape like a glove. Designed with a flattering crossover neckline and neat empire line, the beautifully crafted soft corded lace has a premium jersey lining for added comfort and shape.

Capped Sleeves

Elodie Dress

Our Elodie Dress in White Snow is the perfect alternative for the modern bride not wanting lace. The delicate speckled ivory tulle is draped over a soft sheen lining. We have kept the capped sleeves beautifully sheer for a hint of glowing skin.

Kristin Dress

Flutter in our Kristin dress, made from exquisite eyelash lace. This bridal style features a satin edged sweetheart neckline and beautiful unlined capped sleeves with scalloped edges, allowing them to drape over your shoulders and upper arms creating an ethereal magic that you'll adore on your special day.

Aria Dress

Our Aria gown screams screen siren glamour with a truly timeless appeal. This off the shoulder full-length maternity gown is a sleek and flattering style with a short-capped sleeve that allows a little coverage for your upper arms.

Sleeve appeal

Maybe a short sleeve bridal gown isn't for you, but don't fear, we have lots of other dresses with beautiful delicate sleeves for you to choose from. Our Helena could not be more show-stopping. The vintage-inspired gown has long sheer sleeves in dainty lace to really add a classic elegance to your big day. Perhaps on the opposite end of the spectrum is our Silvia dress boasting a sheer polka dot tulle ¾ length sleeve with subtle sweetheart neckline and curve smoothing premium British jersey – a modern take on vintage glamour.

Lastly, in case you didn't know, all of our dresses can be worn at all stages of pregnancy and are Made in the UK. Shop our full bridal range.
