Detachable sleeves- a modern alternative to the traditional veil

We love a new bridal trend here at The Perfect Bridal Company and one we are particularly enjoying at the moment is the detachable bridal sleeve. As with any new trend there are a variety of ways you can incorporate this into your bridal look (and we offer a range of different style bridal sleeves for this), but today we’re looking at how you can use detachable sleeves as a modern alternative to the traditional veil.

Now that might sound a little strange at first- when could sleeves possibly look anything even close to a veil? When they’re full length and voluminous, that’s when! We call them sleeves, but these flowing full length styles could just as easily be referred to as wings because of the way they float elegantly from the shoulder. 

Just like a veil, a detachable sleeve can also be taken off to create a different look for your evening reception. Another point of difference is the fact that unlike a veil, you don’t have to attach sleeves to your hair which some brides might prefer- either way go full length and floaty to add a style statement to your bridal look! 

So let’s take a closer look at three of our favourite full length detachable bridal sleeves…

PBA2018

Totally transform your bridal look with these pretty embellished full length sleeves. Attached to thin satin straps, these stunning sleeves can be worn with any style dress whether strapless, with straps or even a shoulder. Soft ivory tulle is adorned with 3D chiffon flowers, pretty lace and scattered pearls, making a dramatic yet elegant statement.

PBA2019

Combine two trends at once with these pearl embellished detachable full length sleeves. Attached with thin satin straps, as with most of our bridal sleeves you can wear style PBA2019 with most dresses to completely transform your look. Soft ivory tulle is embellished with classic pearls which are clustered on each shoulder, gradually filtering out as the sleeves cascade to the floor. Sophisticated but with a truly modern edge.

PBA9071

If you’re looking to create some dramatic movement to your bridal look, our new detachable angel wings are the perfect modern alternative to a full length veil. Made in the softest ivory tulle, each sleeve is fastened to the shoulder before cascading dramatically to the floor. The tulle is your unembellished which gives a classic and versatile vibe, meaning you can wear these stunning statement sleeves with just about any gown.
