Winter is a’coming, folks, and you know what that means… sleeves are sneaking their way up to a higher spot on the must-have list when it comes to picking out your big-day look. Luckily, if a little something to cover your arms is what you’re after, we’ve curated a list of our favourite be-sleeved gowns to do just that.
What we truly bloody love about a gown with sleeves is that it can be done in so many ways, to suit every kind of bride. From sheer and floaty to full and voluminous and fitted perfection, you don’t have to forgo your favourite style in favour of a chic sleeve. We’re obsessed with the sheer chiffon vibes from Lilia Cass Ceremonial and Georgia Young Couture, and loving what Oui the Label and Cherie by Oui have done with lace, appliqué and dreamy silhouettes.
If relaxed boho vibes are your big-day dream, you’ll want to take a look at what we’ve got from the likes of Rue De Seine and Bo & Luca – both are designers we love to bits here at Hello May HQ. If something a little more form-fitting is your jam, gorgeous styles by Grace Loves Lace and By Kinsman (another couple of lush labels we can’t get enough of) are always on point.
Love Marie Bridal Boutique stocks a whole bunch of beautiful brands – we’ve picked three of our fave looks here, but highly rec booking an appointment because there is seriously that much to love – and the always amazing Friend of Audrey has exactly what you’re after if you’re looking for something for under $500, (yes, really!).
Speaking of budgets, if you’re looking for a particular price point, we’ve also rounded up our fave wedding day looks under $1000 and under $3000 – and if you’re after a winter wedding jacket for your big day, click right here!
