Any Long sleeved brides or brides to be out there?

If my wedding wasn't in the dead middle of the summer, I would have LOVED sleeves on my dress. Some of the designs today are just GORGEOUS.

My dress has long bell shaped sleeves! I love the look of the sleeves. Please ignore the messy mirror in my daughter's room. Only full length mirror in the house and no one was home when my dress came to get a picture of it!

Wow, love it! I completely understand the excitement of getting your dress and not being able to wait to try it on! What's your wedding theme?

No specific theme, we are having a very non-traditional relaxed backyard party style wedding. I wanted a dress that was very me and not bridal.

Absolutely. That's what our special day is all about; the representation of the bride and groom. Nothing else matters

I am in love with long sleeve dresses! It just screams elegant & romance to me!

Yes! I’m all about long sleeves, I ended up with a strapless dress & i’ll be adding sleeves. The ones I ordered were a perfect match to the dress was 3/4, I’m hope the seamstress can work magic to make them long sleeve with an illusion back.

I LOVE long sleeve dresses! If I had a winter wedding, I definitely would have went for one.

Yes, I want a long sleeve. None of the places I've been have a huge selection of long sleeve wedding gowns! But I am dead set on finding one!

BEAUTIFUL ! Where did you get your dress! That is absolutely beautiful!

View Quoted Comment I have no doubt you’ll find your dress! Thank you! I had to drive to Walnut Creek close to San Jose to find it!

Thank you! I haven't lost hope yet! I will continue to look. Hopefully I find one as beautiful as the dresses posted in this thread!

To create the look I wanted, I found a bodysuit (Martina Liana) and a separate skirt (Morilee). I then customized the bodysuit a bit more and added a belt (soooo wish I had the belt sewn in!!! It kept sliding up and ruined some bridal pics):

Gorgeous!!! I love how you made two pieces look like it was one! The whole dress looks has a very similar style to my own! I love it! The top looks close except your bottom looks like a stunning full tiered skirt and mine is less full and tulle

Thank you! The bodysuit was white lace over nude illusion. I went for an ivory skirt because I liked the contrast (white on white can feel stark). The belt tied it all together.

I love the long sleeves too! I knew that’s what I wanted and you’re right - there isn’t a ton out there but I found one that I loved! My dress came in last week and I’m going to try it on on Friday!
