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!

Looking for that perfect art deco dress but not interested in spending two months rent/mortgage on anything except rent and mortgage? This oh-so-lovely vintage style gown is a secret steal ($200! Not sure that’s even legal in WeddingWorld…) and pretty as a picture. Love that brooch on the bodice and the way the chiffon is …
It’s impossible to understand why on Earth we haven’t done a post featuring one of our favorite art deco-inspired wedding dress designers, Alice Temperley and Temperley London, but it seems that we have not. But it’s always wow all around when we spot an art deco Temperley London gown… (image via Brides.com) So how could …
Love this gorgeous, simple, art deco inspired wedding gown from designer Claire Pettibone (with incredible photos by uber-talented photographer Jose Villa.) The “Lydia” dress features draped cotton, a bubble hem, English lace accents and cascading bustle. Perfection. This gown is from an older collection and no longer available for sale – we suggest you check …
