Wedding Winter Wonderland

A long sleeved wedding dress is perfect for a snowy winter wedding.

This dramatic look is done best with lace, crushed velvet, or satin. Sleeves should be fitted but not too snug. When it’s cold outside, you’ll be warm and comfortable – not to mention stunning!

Consider pairing your long sleeved wedding dress with a pair of formal gloves. Of course, you won’t want to leave them on too long when it is time to show off that ring!

Long Sleeves on the Beach

Modern Long Sleeves

When trying on wedding dresses, it is important to try on many different styles to determine what looks best on you.

If the dress is flattering, and you love it, then it doesn’t matter if it was on the cover of a bridal magazine or not! Go with your heart and choose the dress that you adore.

One way to modernize a long sleeved dress is to actually wear two pieces: a strapless dress and a little jacket. This way, you can wear the longer sleeves for the more formal part of your wedding day, and then remove it later for some of the photos or the reception.

Or, look for sleeves with interesting details, such as a flare or covered buttons.

Conservative & Classic

All brides want to feel comfortable on their wedding day, and for many this means showing a little less skin!

Depending on your place of worship, your family traditions, and your personal taste, wearing a conservative gown can be a way to ensure that you are comfortable on your special day.

A general rule is, if you aren’t comfortable showing cleavage when you go out on a Saturday night, then you probably won’t want to on your wedding day, either! An elegant, long sleeved gown is the perfect gown if you don’t want to feel self-conscious on your wedding day, and you want your dress to be a little more modest.

A Perfect Fit

If you wish to draw your admirer’s attention upward, long sleeves are one way to add interest to your upper portion. This is one way to draw the eyes away from your lower half, which for many brides is a problem area (hello hips!). A beautiful gown with long sleeves will do just the trick!

Whether you admire the traditional aspect of the long sleeve gown, or just love the way it looks on you, a wedding dress with sleeves is a demure alternative to the countless wedding dresses out there that have barely-there straps. So go ahead, roll up those sleeves and start looking! The perfect dress is waiting for you.
