Practicality Meets Beauty – The Long Sleeve Wedding Dress
At our Auckland City bridal boutique, just five minutes from the CBD, brides often ask about a long sleeve wedding dress. For summer weddings in New Zealand, they can be less practical – even a sheer sleeve adds warmth, and lace sleeves have a habit of catching on guests’ buttons or sequins during hugs. Outside the main summer months, though, a long sleeve wedding dress is a true standout. Adding sleeves introduces another layer of interest and beauty, giving both the bride and designer more creative freedom. In a simple bridal gown, sleeves can become the defining feature. Loose sleeves with unexpected tailoring feel bohemian and cool. Fine sheer Chantilly sleeves bring a touch of vintage romance, while plain fitted sleeves feel modern, elegant and timeless.
