30 unforgettable long-sleeve wedding dresses for your special day (2024)

There's no denying just how good Reformation's dresses are (we did write a whole piece on them, after all), but this stunner may just take the cake. It's simple yet show-stopping with a killer open back, and we are here for it.

Modern, feminine and elegant AF, this Whistles dress is a winner for so many reasons. Its fluid fit is universally flattering, the sheer sleeves provide a pretty contrast, and the cut-out detail and buttons down the back ensure it's a delight from every angle. We're sold!

A blazer dress is perfect for those heading to the town hall to seal the deal, and this one from Safiyaa is particularly dreamy. Add a fun bag and some even funner (yes, we know that sounds weird) heels, and you're all set.

Fashion girlies will recognise this one: it's 16Arlington's signature Solaria dress that was famously worn by Hailey Bieber, that's now had a bridal makeover in white. Love.

It was a good day for us all when Rixo decided to launch bridalwear back in 2021, and a few years later, we still can't get enough of their vintage-esque designs. Take this head-to-toe lace maxi, for example. It's undeniably beautiful and available up to a UK size 22, just the way we like it.

We're obsessed with this True Violet wedding dress, that looks deceptively minimal from the front with its elegant high neck and long sleeves – while the back features a cute heart-shaped cut-out and dramatic train. Love.

We adore a dramatic off-the-shoulder moment almost as much as we adore seeing a mini make an appearance at a ceremony. Don't take too long, though, because this beaut is already on its way out.

No one does pared-back bridal dresses quite like Ghost, and this satin midi dress with its cool cut-out chest detail is one of our faves.

Boho babes wanting to float their way through the whole event whilst looking TDF, we've got you covered. Or rather, ASOS has, but we'd like to think we helped bring you and your dress of dreams together, right?

Follow Kourtney Kardashian's lead and choose a short wedding dress to say your 'I do's or save this for the after-party. Either way, you'll look pretty darn fabulous.

This tulle Costarellos gown is fit for a princess and is currently on sale with a major 40% off. We're loving the low v-neckline – ideal for showing off a sparkly necklace.

With a feminine bow and scooped-out back, you just know this long-sleeved gown will make for one unforgettable exit. Better yet, it's currently 55% off.

Ref really can do no wrong. We have a feeling this lace-looker will make for many a satisfied bride-to-be.

Nobody's Child is known for their must-have everyday dresses, so we can't say we were too surprised to discover that their wedding options are just as covetable. If their sell-out rates are anything like the former, you'll want to be speedy, though or risk this becoming the one that got away.

The intricate sequin embroidery on the bodice and sleeves of this ASOS gown makes it look *so* much more expensive than it actually is.

This feather-trimmed fella offers excellent coverage with a glimpse of skin up top for added intrigue. And then there's the statement sleeves. IOW, all eyes will be exactly where they should be for the entirety of the evening: on you.

If you want a dress as romantic as the day itself, you can't go wrong with this puff-sleeved maxi from Monsoon. With hand-beaded embellishments and a delicate train, it more than meets the requirements.

While the sleeves are definitely more 3/4 than full-length, the five-star rating, hundreds of likes and size range from UK 16 to 30 meant there was no way this gorg gown wasn't making the cut.

If 'wow's are what you want on the day, 'wow's are what you'll get wearing an incredible number like so. Delicate buttons run all the way down the back, while ruched mesh provides a subtle take on the sleeve, and a sweetheart neckline finishes it all off.

Business from the front and a major bow moment from the back in a simple silhouette that oozes elegance? Don't mind if we do...
