A very full, billowy sleeve that ends at the elbow.

It is important that this sleeve type is proportioned correctly, not only to the dress but also your height and weight, because they can look over done if not made correctly.

Wedding Tip
#2

If you are on a tight budget use lots of greenery.

Greenery is inexpenvise and will make a great filler and you will use less flowers.  

Try using potted plants and shrubs such a ficus trees which can be rented.  

You may even have your own fake trees at home, or you could borrow from friends and family.  

These will look charming when lit with tiny lights.
