TAGS: POCKETS, ANNE BARGE, PRISCILLA OF BOSTON, PALOMA BLANCA, MORI LEE

Are you a smart bride always fidgeting with your hands, never quite sure what to do with them? Rather than worrying about your hands hanging limply at your waist, or wondering if they’re resting properly on your hip during pictures, how about a wedding dress with pockets?


Stylish and also sensible, wedding dresses with pockets allow you to hide some Kleenex for any ceremony waterworks, and maybe even your lip gloss, without the bother of a purse. This week’s choices include designers like Paloma Blanca, Anne Barge and Priscilla of Boston and range from $300 to $2500, so you can wear this trend no matter what your budget.
