    I can't stand wearing strapless dresses, so definitely straps or sleeves! I hate spending the whole time pulling up strapless dresses. I couldn't imagine pulling up a wedding dress all night.

    Straps! I feel like strapless is more uncommon these days.

    I'm in the middle. My dress has a type of strap but I'm top heavy so I can't do strapless lol.

    Sleeves. At least some sort of something to hold the 300 lb dress up. I love to dance and the thought of my "girls" escaping, really freaks me out. My dress is slightly off the shoulder.

    My dress has no sleeves but I love the long sleeve look. I didnt end up getting sleeves because I tend to get. So i think it just depends on where you are getting married and the time of year.

    I am going with a halter type, so no sleeves, but mainly because lace is so itchy and while I'd love the help because I'm a bustier girl myself. I like the halter look and it gives me the hold I need. Strapless has never been a look I like for basically anything haha.

    I love the strapless look! But some dresses do look really pretty with sleeves.

    I have a long sleeved wedding dress, which to me looks far more chic than strapless. Most strapless dresses look too basic to me.

    On me, at least straps or off-the-shoulder. I love the classiness of sleeves. But if you have great arms, flaunt them!
