Do you consider Grace Kelly and Duchess Kate your style icons? Then take a cue from their bridal attire and wear a sleeved wedding dress down the aisle. Whether you prefer the look of three-quarter-length sleeves or long sleeves, the style can look especially timeless, elegant, and—of course—regal. That being said, even if you're not after a modest, classic, and princess-cut creation, you can still embrace the design. In fact, fashion designers have gone to great lengths to uniquely modernize long-sleeved bridal gowns, too!

Other perks of choosing a wedding dress with sleeves? You'll have just the right amount of coverage if you're marrying in one of the colder months (or a chilly air-conditioned room). You'll also have the added benefit of being comfortable throughout the party—you can say "goodbye" to taking breaks on the dance floor to tug at a strapless neckline.

Though they've always been a staple in bridalwear, long sleeves are trending right now. From fitted lace versions to flutter options, the possibilities are also greater than ever before. That means traditional and bohemian brides alike can find long-sleeved wedding dresses that suit their personal styles. Simple or dramatic, romantic or unexpected, the choice is yours—we've got the evidence to prove it.

Take a cursory scroll through the following gallery and you'll be able to see why. We've rounded up our favorite long-sleeved wedding dresses by some of the top brands in the industry. Click through to see the best of the past few seasons, including this ball gown from the Spring 2020 Monique Lhuillier collection.
