Rocking a dress with long sleeves on your wedding day is not just for brides looking to cover up. Long sleeves are stylish and are an added bonus when you’re looking to stay warm for your winter wedding. With so many sleeve variations to choose from, there’s a design for you whether you are looking for an intricately patterned lace sleeve, a traditionally modest sleeve or a sleeve you can remove for the reception. Stay warm in the cold months with one of these long sleeve wedding dresses for your winter wedding.
Traditional
A traditional long sleeve wedding dress may not have glitz and glam but its simplistic style will make a statement. Full coverage can range from solid, unembellished sleeves to detailed stitching and appliques.
Lace
If you love the long sleeve wedding dress look but are not looking for full coverage, opt for lace sleeves. A lace wedding dress gives the option for a lined look or a see-through, decorative style. Each lace pattern is different, whether you want full lace overlay or a simple design running down a mostly mesh sleeve.
Buttons
They may be small, but a few buttons can make a big statement on your sleeves. Styles can range from one or two buttons close to the wrist or a full row up to the elbow.
Flared
70s-inspired flare sleeves are sure to make a statement. The billowing design means even more canvas for embellishments and intricate stitching.
80s-Inspired Puff Sleeves
A nod to 80s fashion, puff sleeves are on the rise and they can look any way you want them to. Choose a puff high on the shoulder to give retro shoulder pad vibes, have large puffs down the upper arm, or puff them mid-sleeve for an even larger look.
Detachable Sleeves
Detachable sleeves are the perfect solution for brides who want the look (and warmth) of a sleeve for their winter wedding but don’t want to overheat once the dancefloor gets going. Walk down the aisle with the sleeves on, then remove them after photos to create a second look for your reception.
