Wedding Gowns With Sleeves

Wedding Gowns With Sleeves

Traditionally, brides always wore wedding dresses with sleeves, at least for the ceremony portion of the event. There was the expectation that the bride at a church wedding would cover her shoulders to show respect in a house of worship. That custom has pretty much been abandoned in most, though not all, houses of worship. Over time, however, the religious reasons for wearing wedding gowns with sleeves have faded, and the strapless gown is by far the most popular option for brides. In fact, if a bride wanted to wear a wedding gown with sleeves, whether it was for religious reasons, to cover tattoos, or just a matter of personal preference, she often had to resort to having a gown custom made or wearing a jacket over a sleeveless gown.
