Pockets-A-Plenty

We're pretty excited about some of the new fashion trends, like short gowns and slim silhouettes. However, the newer trend which features cool pockets on sophisticated wedding dresses is just too oooh-la-la for words!

A gown should be the ultimate expression of one's fashion aesthetic. If you're a casual girl who loves a comfy cashmere sweater and can't live without her boyfriend jeans, then a gown with pockets is the cozy equivalent.

Coziness and comfort aside, a wedding dress with pockets can still be uber chic and downright glamorous. It provides just the right amount of edge and sass, while still remaining true to a formal bridal look.

A gown doesn't have to be all about pomp and circumstance, but don't be surprised if your posture is picture perfect when donning a pocket confection. It's all about the attitude and we know a casual girl still makes for a fabulous bride!

The gown featured is from Priscilla of Boston's Spring 2010 collection, style 4405. Picture courtesy of Priscilla of Boston.
