You chose your venue + set the date...now it's time for the gown! One current trend that we could literally wrap our arms around is SLEEVES! Read on below as we walk you through the different types of wedding gowns with sleeves + help you navigate which sleeve you'd love the most!

A NOD TO TRADITION

Carolina Herrera - "Lainey" A floral-inspired lace sleeve is perfect for the bride who likes a traditional look. For the bride looking to modernize this classic style, we love the laser-cut lace Carolina selected for this gown, which gives it a more updated feel!

SLEEK + MODERN

Suzanne Neville "Adair" | Sareh Nouri "Belle"Winter whites can pack a punch when they're done using crisp lines on sleek silhouettes. The ultimate in sophistication...you'll be the talk of the town, just ask Meghan Markle.

THE HINT OF SEDUCTION

Suzanne Neville "Luella" The newest trend on the runway is that of subtle seduction, just a peek-a-boo, from a slit in the skirt to an unlined illusion top.Love the look, but feel it's a little too revealing? Great news: We can line the bodice and close up the slit.

THE TOUCH OF WHIMSY

Suzanne Neville "Topaz" A hint of delicate garden-inspired applique, accented with subtle clear beading. This gown is the perfect nod to nature for a bride looking for whimsical elegance, and works equally for a summer or winter wedding!

THE BOLD + THE BEAUTIFUL

Kelly Faetanini "Adair"When you hear wedding gowns with sleeves, it doesn't always have to be long, check out this next one! Another laser cut lace, yet this time instead of a floral pattern we have an intricate design, creating a bold fresh look. What's even better about this gown is it can be done with short sleeves or long. Scroll down for our Real ALSW Bride rocking this gown in a full sleeve!

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Suzanne Neville "Nouevau" | Amsale "Angeline"Not fully committed to a sleeve? No worries...we have detachable options! Many of our designers can make the sleeve from an existing design detachable, or we can layer a jacket over the top of a gown to create a two-in-one look!
