How to wear a sleeveless wedding dress…
We love a sleeveless wedding dress! And there are so many options to choose from, including thin spaghetti straps, wider illusion styles and even pretty little cap sleeves to flatter the shoulders.
Sleeveless is an attractive look that stays just the right side of revealing and it can be super versatile too. Simply add a lace jacket or cute bolero for more daytime coverage, then remove later for a sexy evening look!
Our bridal experts have picked three of their favourite designs below to help you make your choice. Each sleeveless wedding dress offers something a little different but they’re all guaranteed to make you look and feel fabulous on the big day. Enjoy!
Delicate sparkle
Syrah is a beautiful sheath style, available in both ivory and champagne, that’s covered from head to toe in stunning lace. It also has delicate spaghetti straps for a seductive touch of eye-catching sparkle.
Catwalk style
The sweetheart bodice is sexy yet modest, and the on-trend plunging neckline features carefully place illusion panels. The thin spaghetti straps covered with glittering beading finish the look perfectly!
Luxe detailing
Look closely and you’ll the statement lace appliqués, which have been layered onto delicate Chantilly lace to give the dress a luxurious texture.
The low down
The attractively dipped back features illusion lace finished with a neat row of covered buttons. We also love how the exquisite lace continues prettily across the hips and down the fitted skirt.
Putting on the glitz
This sexy fitted design looks fabulous with a little more sparkle. Our glamorous Solstice belt is the perfect accompaniment, along with our elegant, full-length Willa veil, secured with a few pretty Honey hairpins.
Sumptuous lace
The skirt features a stunning lace hem, as well as a Chantilly lace under layer, for a totally luxurious feel. We also recommend wearing this style with our 189 underskirt, which will add just the right amount of volume as you walk down the aisle. Lastly, if you love this strapless wedding dress, we think you might like Kennedy and Houston too.
On-trend design
Odyssey is a contemporary sheath design made from figure-hugging crepe and embellished with sparkling embroidered lace. The wider, fully-lined straps look beautiful and give plenty of support for this backless style.
Modern styling
The bodice features a fashionable plunging neckline, which is a look that’s straight from the bridal catwalks. We’ve added a discreet illusion panel too, so it’s super easy to wear and still offers plenty of coverage.
Pearl and crystal details
The exquisite lace on the bodice is intricately detailed and is covered with beautiful little pearls and crystals for added shimmer.
Attractively low
Turn around and you’ll discover another on-trend feature, the super low back. Inspired by feedback from our brides, we know this is a must-have look! We’ve also included fully lined straps, so you’ll feel comfortable and supported in this backless and sleeveless wedding dress.
Totally unique
Make this look your own with your choice of accessories. We love it styled with our sparkling Solstice belt and our sophisticated Alpha comb, which is covered with crystals and beads to complement the bodice.
Create some curves
There’s no need to wear an underskirt here, just let the slinky skirt do all the work! And, if you like this look, we think you might like Bali, Houston and Hemsworth too.
A real showstopper
And finally, we have our glamorous Platinum Edition Alabama in soft blush. It’s hard to know where to start with this stunning fishtail design, which showcases beautiful embroidered lace topped off with oodles of sparkling beads!
A unique design
This sleeveless wedding dress has exquisite illusion lace straps alongside unique removable beaded straps, so you can customise it to suit your style.
Luxurious lace
The fitted bodice, which hugs the curves perfectly, is covered with embroidered lace appliqués which continue down the dramatic skirt.
A beautiful back
The open back is sexy and attractive while still offering plenty of coverage and support. The pretty lace appliqués also frame the shoulder blades just so, while the neat row of covered buttons is a stylish focal point.
Movie star magic
There’s a touch of Old Hollywood glamour to this design, which you can enhance with the perfect accessories. Our sophisticated Aurelia tiara combined with our Loulou veil will add a little extra film star style, along with a glittering belt to highlight your waist.
Turn up the volume
The gorgeous fishtail skirt ends in more of that delectable lace and will help to create show-stopping curves. For even more movie star elegance wear this skirt with two of our underskirts (189 and 190) for maximum volume and va va voom!
