Long-sleeved wedding dresses are having a bit of a moment. Ever since Kate Middleton walked down the aisle of Westminster Abbey in that exquisite lace sleeve wedding dress we’ve all been more than a little obsessed by the elegant look. And, the trend for sleeves shows no signs of going away.

Fit and flare dresses or a skirt with a thigh slit can also add a really edgy and sexy look to a long sleeve dress, while you’ll find plenty of vintage-inspired dresses with long sleeves too if that’s more your style.

If a full sleeve to your wrist isn’t doing it for you, but you’re not keen on the strapless look, then consider a shorter sleeve wedding dress with a pretty cap sleeve or three-quarter length sleeve instead.
