Brides left out in the cold..

It seems to me that the bridal boutiques and websites are full of beautiful wedding dresses, they are stunning and unique, and plentiful!!!!
I don't think I have ever heard of a bride muttering how there just aren't enough dress options out there, however nearly all the dresses are styled without sleeves, or very little of them. Now I realise that nothing about a bridal dress is practical,a practical wedding dress would be a weird concoction of higher hems, no trains, breathing room, not in white (as we all no it attracts dirt like a magnet)!!! and possibly a lot less hand stitching, embroidery, bling, antique lace etc.
What I want to point out is that if you have a wedding in the cold, which lets face it, in the UK could be any stage of the year!!! you are literally left out in the cold,without a huge amount of choice.
So i assume there are allot of cold brides out there, rubbing the goose pimples off there arms, and praying they don't catch a cold for the honeymoon.
I'm sure there are positive sides to this, such as if your feet are numb, they wont hurt when your in rarely worn shoes all day, but I cant think of any more than that.
Now I am searching for something for a March bride and the pickings are slim, especially if you want to try it on, god forbid!
However with a little searching I found a few on the magical world wide web.
Now if you want just a touch of arm coverage perhaps the below option would be something to consider.


This is by Davids Bridal, $29
However wraps are easy to come by, so how about something with sleeves?


This is by The bridal wear company, £69.99
More of a statement with the lovely frill detailing, but it isn't going to keep you warm now is it.
Not like this item below, this would definitely keep you warm!!!


This is by Honey suckle furs £360
Although I do think this takes warming up a little too far, and ruins the lines of your dress, and of course even the visibility of your dress under a full length cloak!!! Not to mention the hood versus hair situation!
Perhaps what I'm looking for is this beautiful design below,


This is by Davids Bridal again for $129
However as lovely as this is, and it would suit a vintage wedding perfectly, it still wont keep the draft from my bride. Merely hide the goose pimples from the naked eye and the all important photographer.
This would not however keep her from sneezing her way through the honeymoon, should she catch cold!
Below is a beautiful option and by a lovely designer who creates the most stunning dresses,


This is by Sophia Tolli $88
The elegant lines and the sweet collar detail makes this bolero stand out, the longer sleeve will keep the chill out, and still allow the dress centre stage to the show.
Something like this i think is a perfect addition to an English bridal outfit, easily taken off, no distortion to the dress, and shields the bride from a little of the cold.
Of course if you are having an inside wedding none of this will matter to you, but when you have beautiful grounds for photo opportunities, or are travelling form A to B, it might be worth thinking about.
Of course the ideal situation would be for global warming to hurry up and turn the UK into a Mediterranean paradise, I'm sure we wont reeeeally miss the icebergs? right?
