Our long-sleeved wedding dress picks for this season

bridal-dress

Wedding dress styles through time have no doubt changed. Every season offers a whole new heap of fabulous modern and classic wedding dress inspiration. This can make finding the bridal gown that’s right for you a real challenge.

One cut that has stood the test of time is the long-sleeved look. Made famous by style icon Grace Kelly back in the 1950s and sported more recently by a string of Hollywood actresses and royal brides at their own nuptials, long-sleeved wedding dresses are very stylish choices indeed.

Known widely as a traditional wedding dress feature, long sleeves are now seen across a range of modern designs with beautiful results as Wedding KnowHow explains:

“There is a misconception that long-sleeve wedding dresses can make the bride look too mature and old-fashioned but we couldn’t disagree more. A long-sleeved wedding dress can be stunningly modern and make a bride look fresh and confident. With a plunging back or a daring v-neckline, a long-sleeve dress can give off a modern feel.”

Long-sleeved wedding dresses are particularly popular at autumn and winter weddings. Here we share our top long-sleeved wedding dress picks for the winter season.
