You should wear a little lace shrug which covers your arms and partially yolur shoulders but shows off your chest area. A shawl would also be fine but it will fall off your shoulders. Otherwise you can buy beautiful dresses with 3/4 sleeves and if it is in lace wont make your ams look fat. Good luck with the wedding.

A pretty wrap or shawl or shrug will help to cover what you dont want others to see - you can have it made in the same material as your dress or go with something different and contrasting like faux fur or antique lace or pretty crochet - there are lots of bridal websites that i am sure could offer you ideas - if you dont want to cover up bjust wear your viel then rip off and be proud of who you are - your new hubby obviously is!!! XX Good luck

You know, at size 14-16, I highly doubt that your arms are as 'fat' as you think they are. Being a bride can bring up worries about being in front of all those people. That can be enough stress to make a supermodel feel like a beached whale!
But don't stress, remember it's about you and your husband-to-be (and I'm sure your arms are the LAST thing on his mind) So I'd say, bare your arms, I'm sure they're gorgeous. And if you're REALLY worried about it, try to get a base tan or use some bronzer (carefully) That should be just enough to boost your spirits.
Congrats!

A shawl would be your best bet. Choose an interesting one with lace, crystals or some attention seeking motif to take attention away from your arms.

* Try a shawl or a wrap or a short coat that matches...
Or how about trying a dress with a wide decorative strap off the shoulders covering most of the upper arm

I had the same problem. I had a strapless gown and chubby arms. I just stuck it out. Maybe you can wear a shawl.

My bridesmaids wore strapless gowns. The ones who felt uncomfortable with the dress like that wore the shawl which was an option that could come with the dress.

dont hide urself. tone up the backs of your arms and push your shoulders back for your wedding photographs. Walk down that aisle with your head held high!!!! get two big heavy books and hold them out at arms length for half an hour, then build up to two books, then three... ... ...

I'd wear a lace wrap or wear a really gorgeous necklace to direct attention away from your arms.

get a 'shawl' not like an old lady one but like a nice stip of pretty fabric that you have that goes over your back and then under your arms that would look nice.. I dont know exactly what they are called though
