They can be classic and modest, to whimsical and romantic, or full out boho.

One of the questions we get asked most frequently is ‘ I love long sleeves but I am getting married in summer, are long sleeve dresses more for winter weddings’? There has never been more options when it comes to bridal gowns with sleeves. We have many light weight dresses with a sleeve in the boutique which are perfect for summer weddings or even weddings abroad where the climates are warmer. A major trend for 2025 are detachable sleeves and we have lots of styles with detachable sleeves which helps make them more suited to warmer days.

And of course long sleeve wedding dresses are incredibly popular for winter weddings for brides getting married in  colder weather who’d prefer not to wear a shrug or cover up their dresses. 

Long sleeves can be found on most gown shapes from column, to trumpet or princess line. And a bridal gown with a long sleeve can suit perfectly for those looking for something a little more modest or those looking for a more revealing .Many of these gowns are then balanced with a tattoo illusion lace or low back for those looking for something a little bit more sexy. 

With a silhouette to suit to any body shape, long sleeve dresses are also a popular choice for brides are conscious of their arms and prefer to have their upper arms covered. They are also a great choice for brides that might prefer extra coverage if they are prone to skin conditions such as eczema as brides aren’t worried about a flare up close to the wedding.
