What Your Wedding Sleeves Say About You

Bridal sleeves are having a big moment. The last time this happened was when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry got married. That was six years ago, so, it’s safe to say we’re excited! And bridal sleeves have had such a glow-up since then. While we still have some timeless gowns with tailored sleeves, like Meghan’s, we also have some fab new additions. And sooo many of them are detachable, which means you get two looks for the price of one!
If you haven’t heard, we also have a new exclusive line of gowns that are only available at Savvi! And yes…we’ve got sleeves! Here are a few of our favorite sleeved beauties from the new collection…
So, let’s get down to business and see which sleeves speak to you, and more importantly, what they say about your bridal style.

You are timeless and enjoy putting your own spin on a classic look. When it comes to shopping for your wedding ensemble, one word comes to mind–elegance. You probably took ballet at some point in your life (if you’re not currently a prima ballerina) and you carry yourself with grace and pride. You’re likely having a religious ceremony and a chic reception to follow at a historic venue, in the ballroom, of course. Lace sleeves come in all shapes and sizes and we love how versatile they are! From detachable sleeves that can be affixed to your gown to full lace bodices that can be layered under or over your wedding gown, let your Savvi Stylist help you find the right lace sleeve for you!
Sheer

You were on the fence about a wedding sleeve, but then you saw these sheer little numbers that have been popping up on the runways this season, and you do love a trend. Plus, they’re detachable so you could just wear them for the ceremony and then switch it up for the reception! From matching beaded lace to sheer draped tulle sleeves that are more like opera gloves we have so many fun possibilities to play with at Savvi!
Voluminous

You’re a princess–period, and don’t you ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You have been waiting your whole life for this moment (LITERALLY) and you are going to make a statement. You’re going for volume. Today you get to take up space…so why shouldn’t your sleeves? Girl, it’s your day, go as big as you want. We’ve got puffs in just about every fabric you can imagine! From clouds of taffeta to billowing tulle sleeves that will dance in the wind, let’s play dress up!

You’re a free spirit and you’ve finally found your soulmate. You’re obviously getting married outside, and you’re looking for a dress with the same boho vibes. You’ll want something soft and comfortable like a lace with stretch, so you can just focus on being you and living in the moment.
Cape

This is a safe space. We know you’ve binge-read all of the ACOTAR series and SAME. You’re a lover of all things romantasy and you may even enjoy the occasional SciFi flick if you feel so inclined. You want your wedding ensemble to be sophisticated, but you want a secret sprinkle of fantasy in your look that’s just for you. Cape sleeves add an element of drama to any look and will give you all those fairytale feels.
Tailored

You’re a boss. Dressing up, for you, usually means slipping into your favorite power suit or tailored dress and pumps before you command a room. But this is your wedding day and you still want to feel like a bride. So, what about taking the best of both worlds? Let’s get you a tailored dress with some elegant fitted sleeves and a dramatic train.

You’re sporty, and your designer purchases to date consist of upscale athleisure. Girl, don’t worry, we got you. You want something comfortable that’s not too exposed. Strapless dresses stress you out, so let’s go for some moderate coverage with a tasteful short sleeve and a skirt that flows for some added comfort.
