Dress with sleeves in August?

Hi all! I have always dreamed of a fall wedding and wearing a dress with sleeves. I also have tattoos on my arm that ideally I would like to cover.

Hi all! I have always dreamed of a fall wedding and wearing a dress with sleeves. I also have tattoos on my arm that ideally I would like to cover. After getting engaged recently, we have found that it's been extremely difficult to find a venue available next year. So when we found one that we love that's available in August, we jumped on it. Our ceremony will be outside and the reception will be indoors with AC. Has anyone worn a dress with sleeves in the summer? What was your experience? I'm not going to limit myself to only dresses with sleeves, but I don't really want my tattoos to be a focal point or a topic of conversation on my big day.


Thank you!!

    I've never worn a wedding dress, but as a guest I wear long sleeves all year around. I usually have to keep tissues with me to pat dry the sweat on my back and underarms. I'm in the midwest and it can get up to 100 degrees many days in August. I've seen other women get botox in the areas where theu sweat a lot but I'm too frugal to pay the price for that. I absolutely love long sleeves but with my heavy sweating, theres no way I could survive an outdoor wedding in August.
