You may feel that long sleeves are just for winter weddings. Not true. Our French designers are the experts in beautifully lightweight fabrications including silk sleeves or French lace sleeves. This means you can now wear a longer sleeve in the warmer months.
I have rounded up the best selection of long sleeve wedding dresses for 2022. With a long sleeve, you can still pack a stylish punch - and possibly even more so than your girlfriend who opted for sleeveless.

ALCAZAR by Margaux Tardits
This stunning floral inspired gown is luxurious embroidery on the finest stretch tulle so it feels like you're wearing air. The chiffon skirt moves with the slightest breeze. The perfect long sleeve option of a high summer wedding.

All at once, this stunning look from Atelier Blanche is striking, vintage and yet so sophisticated. For the brave and ultra-stylish woman who wants to make a statement. This is the long sleeve dress you have been looking for. Paired with Atelier Blanche's ACANTHE skirt
POULENC by Laure de Sagazan
From Laure de Sagazan's 2022 collection the lace on this long sleeve wedding gown is refreshingly modern and crisp. Using a leaf motif instead of the usual floral designs, we love the slit front and the stunning keyhole back.
PALMA by Laure de Sagazan
The iconic French silhouette of a drop waist, the Palma gown is one of Laure de Sagazan's iconic designs. A 70s vibe using cotton lace, this long sleeve wedding dress is for the cool, relaxed, laid back bride in everything except quality and refinement. On that, she does not compromise.
VICTORIA by Margaux Tardits
Hailing from Margaux Tardits' 2022 collection, the Victoria gown is simply breathtaking. Hand embroidered chiffon and seed pearls throughout the bodice. This long sleeve dress provides coverage while celebrating skin and nudity.
LADY by Donatelle Godart
If Bianca Jagger was getting married tomorrow, this is the dress she would have worn. The LADY gown by Donatelle Godart is fun, swishy with a timeless elegance reserved only for the most talented designs.
FOSTER by Laure de Sagazan
This beautiful gown, was actually designed with a short, cap sleeve. However, like this bride I have ordered it for my clients numerous times in a long sleeve. The image below shows a 3/4 sleeve, but I say go all the way and hit the wrist bone. It is the most elegant look. Trust me, it just sings!
FLORE & ANDREA by Atelier Blanche
While this look isn't technically a long sleeve, it has enough drama that we just had to include it in this year's edit. The Flore and Andrew combo is the 2022 pick for the most editorial worthy look. For the fashion bride and even more breathtaking in real life.
Long Sleeve Wedding Dress FAQs
Why wear a long sleeve?
A long sleeve wedding dress can be a great solution to a number of factors to do with your wedding. You may be getting married in a church ceremony, whereby being a little more demure suits the backdrop for your wedding. Have you chosen a black tie dress code? A long sleeve goes a heck of a long way to leading the way to being properly dressed.
My wedding is in summer, can I still choose a long sleeve wedding dress?
Yes! Absolutely, a sheer tulle fitted sleeve is the perfect solution here. Many of our brands do this look beautifully, with fine lace embroidery or applique down the arms. So romantic.
I've fallen in love with a dress that has short sleeves, but I wanted long. What to do?
At CB bride I work very closely with my designers and more often than not is a very easy adjustment in design to order your dress with a long sleeve. Trust your bridal stylist, if they are good they can advise which dresses look magic with an extended sleeve and which ones won't work.
Can I wear a long sleeve with a high neck?
Yes of course, I would suggest you balance this with an open back. We don't want "Morticia" walking down the aisle. These details and balancing tricks are all expertly handled by our French designers. They design with balance in mind without even thinking. High neck, low back. Low front, enclosed back.
