Lace Sleeves
Lace long sleeve dresses are elegant and chic, and always guaranteed to make a romantic statement. Lace is a great option for spring, fall, or even summer weddings since it’s a look that can be very light and airy.
Off-the-Shoulder Sleeves
Off-the-shoulder dresses are a super fun choice for the fashion-forward bride. The look is flirty and flattering on virtually every bride–plus, you have the option of dressing up your off-the-shoulder gown with statement jewelry or keeping it more casual for a beach or backyard wedding.
Solid and Fitted Sleeves
There’s no rule saying wedding dresses have to include lace, organza, tulle, or embellishment. Sleek long sleeve dresses in solid crepe are just as impactful–and a great way to show off your own personal style. The simple, minimalist look will give a unique, less-is-more spin to your bridal outfit.
Three-Quarter Length Sleeves
Quickly becoming one of the most popular bridal trends on the market, the three-quarter length sleeve gives you the best of both worlds. It’s trendy, flattering, and doesn’t run the risk of your sleeves falling into your food at the reception.
Bell Sleeves
Bell sleeve dresses are perfect for the boho or beach bride. This dreamy long-sleeve option won’t feel too constricting or leave you profusely sweating. Plus, it’s a style that can go with almost anything, from the classic bridal lace look to the more modern, body-hugging style.
Sheer Sleeves
Sheer long sleeves are another great option for fall and spring brides because the light, breezy fabric looks stunning on anyone. Sheer sleeves–or illusion sleeves–are also a great way to add some subtle pattern with dots, pearls, or other embellishments.
