Glamorous Long Sleeve Wedding Dress

Ok, so we’re not the first to throw “Grace Kelly-inspired” and “wedding dress” in the same sentence—it’s just really hard to deny the enduring appeal of a beaded bodice ballgown featuring a bateau neckline and (you guessed it!) wrist-skimming illusion sleeves. If you’re a glamorous bride curating a vintage-inspired wedding with glitzy extras and all-night dancing, Fitzgerald by Sottero and Midgley may just be your dream come true.

Flirting with the idea of a rose gold wedding dress? We’re here for it. Fitzgerald features exquisite beading in luxurious jewel-toned colorways like rose gold and pewter, which adds a big dose of dimension and sparkle to your sure-to-be stunning wedding photos. We promise you’ll feel like a star in this sparkly long sleeved wedding gown! 

Long Sleeve Lace Wedding Gown

Chic and sparkly Mallory Dawn offers cut and coverage in all the right places, featuring long illusion lace sleeves and a plunging portrait neckline. The illusion bodice hits that elusive combo of classic and romantic style elements, a picture-perfect choice for soft glamour and timeless elegance. We especially love the plunging back and neckline on this long sleeve ballgown wedding dress—a little touch of sex appeal in an otherwise demure design.   

Mallory Dawn is perfect for the bride who maybe can’t resist a classic princess wedding dress, but is on the hunt for a more intriguing design and modern details. Boho lace gives this sleeved gown a unique cool-bride factor, while the illusion bodice details add a gorgeous dose of couture styling.   

Simple Long Sleeve Wedding Dress

Say you’re a big fan of Meghan Markle’s wedding gown. Say you’re not exactly blessed with a royal inheritance to boot. Cue Bethany by Rebecca Ingram, designed for brides with princess-status taste but without the monarchical price tag. This budget-friendly sleeved gown features illusion lace sleeves and a tailored crepe bodice—the perfect fusion of style and affordable price. 

Looking to elevate a simple sleeved style? Olyssia from our Maggie Sottero line features chic crepe and lace motifs in a body-skimming silhouette, but with a detachable overskirt for added drama. Opt for this illusion tulle and lace accessory for your ceremony, then change up the look for your reception. (Speaking of accessories, our latest collections feature a variety of veil, overskirt, train, and sister-style options. Simply head over to our Find Your Style page to start your browsing.)

Off-the-Shoulder Long Sleeve Wedding Gown

It’s sleeved! It’s strapless! It’s off-the-shoulder! It’s Porter Marie by Sottero and Midgley, and an undeniably eye-catching choice for your big day. This sexy style features opulent swirls of beading and crystals over layered lace in a dramatic ballgown silhouette. It’s one of those magical paradoxes in couture bridalwear—a traditional silhouette with sexy details and modern design elements for the confident and glamorous bride.  

With the array of gorgeous styles available in modern bridal boutiques, many of today’s brides are looking for a truly exceptional bridal look that sets their style apart from classically styled or simple wedding dresses. Porter Marie is designed for just a flair for drama, featuring unique off-the-shoulder sleeves and a sexy sweetheart bodice. 

Vintage Long Sleeve Wedding Gown

This gorgeous sleeved gown is a dream to wear and complements a variety of chic and vintage wedding aesthetics, from romantic international elopements to 60s-inspired dance parties. 

While we’re here, let’s talk wearability for any season. Because if your heart is set on a sleeve gown for a summery boho wedding, the last thing you need is to bulk-ify your bridal look. Antonia features sheer lace and a lightweight York jersey lining—the dreamiest combo for a high-temp destination or outdoor venue. This wearability also translates to destination weddings—Antonia packs chic and light for your exotic locale! 

Planning a scenic autumn celebration or winter-wonderland soiree? Let’s talk coverage. Long sleeve ballgown wedding dress Terry by Maggie Sottero features vintage-inspired lace and sleeves in a slim ballgown silhouette. This lovely design offers the classic and demure styling of a Grace Kelly or Kate Middleton bridal look, but with the modern vibe of a romantic boho gown. 

Unique Long Sleeve Wedding Dress

Welcome to the luxe and captivating world of black wedding dresses. Maybe you’re planning a gothic-couture celebration, maybe you’re fully committing to the spooky magic of a fall wedding, or maybe you’ve had your heart set on a nontraditional wedding gown since Fleur Delacour stepped out in Deathly Hallows. Any way you dye it, a statement black long sleeve wedding dress like Zander ensures your wedding look is one-of-a-kind without sacrificing style or romance. 

Love this unique long sleeve wedding dress but set on a traditional colorway? Fret not, this gown is also available in Ivory over Champagne. The bodice features a sheer champagne underlay for an extra dose of ooh-la-la. The plunging V-neckline and V-back are on-trend for a sexy red-carpet look, while illusion long sleeves evoke vintage-inspired royalty. 

Long Sleeve Boho Wedding Gown

Deirdre by Maggie Sottero is designed for moonlight and barn dancing. We promise you’d be hard-pressed to find a sleeved gown more perfectly suited to the rustic boho bride. This lightweight and comfortable style is comprised of Chantilly lace and chiffon, with soft lace comprising the sheer long sleeves, bateau neckline and V-back. (Our fully lined option Deirdre Marie is available as well.) 

Cheyenne by Maggie Sottero is also soft and romantic, but features a modern neckline and sleeves for a unique boho style. Vintage-inspired lace adorns the sheer long sleeves and scoop bateau neckline, accenting the décolletage with a sexy keyhole motif and sweetheart bust. Cheyenne is a lovely choice for brides with an elegant yet boho-inspired aesthetic, who are personalizing their wedding with flirty touches and romantic embellishments. 

Whatever your personalized style, long sleeve wedding dresses are a gorgeous standard for any classic, romantic, boho, or unique bridal aesthetic. Sleeves adapt to an array of traditional and modern fabrications, from demure lace to illusion motifs and runway-inspired crepe. They offer a dose of “timeless bridal” while still adapting easily to high-fashion silhouettes and sexy necklines. Finally, a sleeved gown is a comfortable and versatile choice for a cooler season wedding, offering support and coverage in all the right places.  Looking for more gorgeous wedding-dress inspiration?
