If you love the look of a wedding dress with cap sleeves, but your gown is strapless (or you can’t find the perfect wedding dress WITH cap sleeves), look no further! Sometimes it’s tough to find the dress that has everything you want, i.e. a wedding dress that covers shoulders or even the perfect cap sleeve dress for your wedding.

But there’s a way to make it happen: here’s an easy trick to add sleeves to your wedding dress.

Add Wedding Dress Sleeves

In addition to wedding dress cap sleeves — wildly popular at the moment — we’re also including detachable wedding straps, tulle straps, lace sleeves, beaded cap sleeves, and removable straps.

As you’ll see, adding detachable straps or sleeves has never been easier! We hope it helps!

Cap Sleeve

First, shop around for cap sleeves that you like. There are popular detachable bridal straps from BeMyCinderellaEtsy that I personally would pick myself. They are removable cap sleeves that are sewn into your wedding dress (ask your seamstress!) and are made in white, ivory, or champagne to match your gown in beautiful tulle fabric. There are even snaps included on your sleeves that will easily snap the pieces together.

Opt for Beaded Cap Sleeves

If beaded cap sleeves are more your style, you’ll go crazy over these gorgeous shoulder straps made with elegant beadwork by KrusnaDesign.

Or go for sparkly beaded shoulder jewelry straps, like these by LaceinLaceDesign.

Airy Silk Top

Bolero Instead of Sleeves

Last but not least, decide if you prefer wearing a bolero instead to mimic the look without having to add cap sleeves to your dress itself. This makes it super-easy for someone who wants cap sleeves or long sleeves added quickly and perhaps right before the wedding day. This sleeve wedding bolero is by StylishBrideAccs.

And there you have it! Now you can add cap sleeves to wedding dress silhouettes of any kind, put on a long sleeve, or wear a bolero. It’s easy!
