If you are a bride shopping for your wedding dress in the Pacific Northwest and are looking for some bridal style inspiration, you are in the right place! Perhaps you are planning a fall or winter wedding in the South Sound area and are wondering what style of wedding dress is going to be right for your big day. A wedding dress with long sleeves is a great option for brides getting married in cooler climates like we often have in the Seattle and Portland areas. Staying warm on wedding day doesn’t mean you have to risk your bridal style and compromise on fashion!
A wedding dress with sleeves is also a great option for brides who want to be a little more modest on wedding day and have a bit more coverage. Sleeves on a wedding dress can also add a bit of a dramatic element to a gown, perhaps with a romantic billowy sleeve, or a sheer tulle sleeve with elaborate lace detailing.
There is no shortage of wedding dress styles with long sleeves, from bohemian to romantic to feminine to modern minimalist. If you are shopping for a wedding dress with long sleeves, we are sure you will be able to find the one that fits your joyful bridal style.
Enjoy a few of our favorite wedding dresses with long sleeves that we carry right here at Weddings With Joy in Olympia, WA.

What do you think? Does a wedding dress with sleeves fit into your bridal style?
Another great option besides sleeves for brides who want to be a bit more modest would be to add a bridal cape or bolero to their wedding dress or even opt for a wedding dress that has removable sleeves. Brides can rest assured they will have the coverage they want but then also have the option to remove the added layer during the wedding reception for a second bridal look on their wedding day. (It’s also an easy 2-in-1 bridal look giving you the option of changing up your look between ceremony and reception or from reception to after party!)
