by PRIYA KHANDELWAL  /   July 14, 2017

Sleeved wedding dresses can make a serious style statement! Whether you want full coverage or something revealing, there are a lot of options out there. Opting for sleeves gives you a lot of room to experiment with. No longer are the options confined to sheaths of lace, sleeves are taking form of everything from voluminous bell shapes to cascading ruffles – the sky’s the limit! 

Here are some of our favourite sleeved gowns that will give you the bridal inspo you need to make a flourishing statement on your big day!

Statement Sleeves: 9 Ways To Wear This Wedding Look
Put A Cap On It

On their own, capped sleeves are graceful and simple, but packed with personality when adorned with crystals, fringes or lace. Perfect for infusing character into your gown.

Shoulder-baring sleeves are a great way to flaunt your toned shoulders and add a hint of sexiness to this otherwise ultra-romantic and classic Naeem Khan gown.

Light, airy and charming, the flutter sleeve adds an ethereal feel to your wedding look. Brides wanting to bust a move on the dance floor, this will be your ultimate favourite as the sleeves are less constricting and allow more movement compared to other styles.

The Long & Short of It

If you’re looking for a little arm coverage for the aisle, there’s nothing better than a combination of the graceful coverage of a full-length sleeve and the ease and comfort of a shorter sleeve. Sleeves hitting around the elbow are super flattering and are perfect for any weather!

Nothing adds romantic drama quite as much as fluttery trumpet sleeves. Maggie Sottero’s Gabriella dress nails this look with illusion lace, beautifully complementing the sheath lace gown, giving us the perfect vintage bohemian feels.
