Today we’re going to talk about one of our favorite looks: the classic elegance of vintage style long sleeve wedding gowns. One of the best things about planning a wedding in modern times: the choices. So many choices! OK, so this can also be an overwhelming aspect of the planning process, and can at times seem like it may break you…
But! But: being able to pick your style, your vows, your venue, and the aesthetic of your wedding is something some modern brides might almost take for granted. For a long time, you didn’t get to choose the style of your wedding dress: there was one style, and that was it. Variations within, of course, but the selection in a bridal shop in 1985 was certainly a lot more uniform than the selection today.
Which brings us to today’s collection of some of our favorite vintage style long sleeve wedding gowns (alright, some elegant 3/4 sleeve wedding dresses as well). Choices! No strapless, sweetheart necklines here: these wedding gowns are classic, lovely, and besleeved. We’ve included a few from earlier collections, as well as some recent designs currently available online. Take a look!
Browsing through some art deco dresses yesterday I came across a brand I’d never heard of before, called Mignon. Some really lovely stuff!

We’ve featured the 1920s inspired dresess of Jenny Packham before, and you all have probably already seen this year’s collection as well, as the images were released earlier in the year (though several of the dresses still haven’t been…). But we would be remiss if we didn’t post this collection anyway because OH MY GOD …
Posting a few photos of some gorgeous art deco and 1930s style wedding gowns we recently came across, from UK based designer Kate Beaumont. One look and we were pretty much instantly smitten… ARE YOU KIDDING ME. These gowns are essentially our entire raison d’etre and we cannot get enough of them. Crepes and silk …
Almost too lovely, this wedding gown from Jenny Packham features ethereal 20s style at its best. The delicate cap sleeves and intricate beading add romance and offset the long geometric lines of this classic art deco gown. *Update: Looking for this gown from the 2011 collection? We suggest checking Nearly Newlywed for designs from older bridal collections. …
