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!

But we would be remiss if we didn’t post this collection anyway because OH MY GOD …
We’ve featured the gorgeous designs of Johanna Johnson before (both her Trousseau Bridal collection and her RIDICULOUS-IN-THEIR-BEAUTY 1920s headbands and art deco jewelry)… …and today we need to bring your more deco-y goodness in the form of her 2013 collection, “Still Is The Night, Not So My Heart…”, inspired by the Ziegfield Follies chorus girls …
One of our favorite designers is back again with a stunning new collection of romantic vintage inspired wedding dresses, and we are swooning left and right around here. I mean… COME ON. This is the new GALA collection, from Galia Lahav, and honestly we could look at these pictures all day (and we have been. …
The one-shoulder look came (back?) into fashion sometime in the last few years, and while admittedly at its worst it can be a little Wilma Flintstone-esque, at its best it evokes a fabulous, Grecian/20s/art deco feel. For example, you’ll find it hard to argue with these one shoulder wedding gowns, including this first one by …
