These Are the Best Wedding Dresses with Sleeves You Can Shop Now

For nuptials taking place in the fall (a.k.a. wedding season) long-sleeve wedding dresses just make sense. Lesser known is that they can be equally lovely for brides walking down the aisle in warmer months as well (Meghan Markle donned her custom long-sleeve Givenchy gown in late May when she married Prince Harry).

Alternatively, if you want a dress that will keep you warm during an outdoor fall or winter wedding, the offerings are endless.

Trending Styles of Sleeved Wedding Dresses

When it comes to sleeved wedding dresses, there's no shortage of styles to choose from. Here are a few of our favorite trending styles for 2025 to-be-weds:

Lace Wedding Dress With Sleeves

What's even more classic than lace wedding dresses? Lace wedding dresses with sleeves, of course! The style has been worn by countless brides throughout history–including style icon, Hailey Bieber during her 2019 nuptials. Five years later, we're still just as obsessed with the look, proving that lace wedding dresses with sleeves are truly timeless.

Sheer-Sleeve Wedding Dress

Spoiler alert: You don't have to sacrifice the style you love just because you're getting married in the spring or summer. A sheer-sleeve wedding dress is an excellent choice for any time of year. Because the sleeves are often made from lightweight fabrics, like tulle or chiffon, they'll keep you cool and comfortable throughout the day. Not to mention, sheer sleeves can add a fashion-forward element to your look.

Off-the-Shoulder Long Sleeve Wedding Dress

Boho brides are obsessed with off-the-shoulder wedding dresses with long sleeves, and for good reason. They offer a laid back vibe that's equally ideal for backyard weddings and ceremonies by the sea. They're also a great way to show a bit of skin, without being too exposed.

Puff-Sleeve Wedding Dress

It's no secret that cottagecore is all the rage right now. If you're looking for a way to incorporate the viral aesthetic into your wedding wardrobe, look no further than a puff-sleeve wedding dress. These whimsical styles strike the perfect balance between vintage and modern (plus, they're breathable enough to wear year-round!).

How to Choose the Right Wedding Dress With Sleeves for You

So, have we convinced you that a long-sleeve wedding dress is for you? Well, before you before you go wedding dress shopping IRL, be sure to read up on some of our helpful tips:

Choose Your Dress Silhouette

There are so many different styles of dresses that feature long sleeves (from mermaid gowns, to ball gowns and every style in between). Others can even be customized to include them. To ensure the gown you bring home is the gown of your dreams, first focus on finding a wedding dress silhouette that you feel most confident in. From there, you can decide whether or not you'd like your dress to include sleeves. Keep in mind: You can always add sleeves to a wedding dress, but you can't always change its silhouette.

Select a Sleeve Style

Once you've decided on a dress silhouette, you can start to think about what kind of sleeves you want. While sheer, fitted sleeves may be a classic choice, they're certainly not the only choice. A boho bride might love the laid back feel that bell sleeves provide. A vintage-obsessed bride on the other hand, might be more keen on an airy bishop sleeve. Be sure to discuss your options with a stylist at your local bridal salon.

Consider Going Custom

Many of today's designers offer versatility when it comes to various aspects of your dress, so not only do you have the option to add sleeves to your wedding dress, but you might also have the opportunity to make them detachable. We find this to be the perfect way to switch up your look between the ceremony and reception (hey, who doesn't want to free up their arms for dancing?). Be sure to discuss all options for customization with your stylist or alterations specialist.
