I purchased my dress and I'm super thrilled with it. Perfect in every way, but I'm underwhelmed by the straps. I am definitely wearing a cape veil at the ceremony and then if course taking it off at the reception. I thought about buying straps/embellishments from Etsy but having a hard time finding some that I like that are not really expensive. But then, I found detachable sleeves!! They are really trendy and so romantic! Decent variety on Etsy, but have you seen any others online? Give me all your straps/sleeves inspo and ideas!! Here's my dress and cape pics for reference... They will both be all white.

What a beautiful dress!
I don't have any recommendations, but I would just check in with your alterations person as to the limitations of the straps in terms of attaching a sleeve.
For eg, with the sleeves you posted, they appear to be fully detachable, not fixed to the dress, so are you looking to remove the straps altogether? You might need to check that the dress would work as a strapless dress before you commit to that, OR be prepared/comfortable for the dress to be worn with both type of strap.

Thank you! The sleeves I'm interested in don't really attach or detach, they are fully on their own. They have elastic at the top to hold itself around the arm. I'm taking the straps off my dress. And I've actually made a purchase! I didn't want to delay any more due to shipping. Here's what I decided on..

Those are super pretty and dramatic. Also that sleeve type looks like it would work ok even if you did choose to/needed retain the strap - I was just conscious that not everyone would like the look of an off the shoulder sleeves with a spaghetti strap

I thought about that but I think it will look nice! Won't know for sure until I get it in the mail and try it on.
