Wedding gloves are one of our favorite new wedding dress trends. Sleek, stylish, and sophisticated, they offer the best of both worlds – even though they recall timeless Old Hollywood elegance, they also look decidedly chic.  

When it comes to wearing gloves with your wedding dress, there are a few important things to consider. Read on for our guide on how to pick the perfect wedding gloves. 

Selecting the right fabric is a great place to start. Before buying wedding gloves, consider your wedding dress and the overall look you want to achieve.   

 

 

Pair Well With
Simple Satin Bridal Gowns

 

Bridal Aesthetic
Clean, Classic, Traditional, Old Hollywood Glamour

 

Satin Wedding Gloves are simply timeless. Even though they’re incredibly easy to wear, they’re a statement accessory that will make a big impact when added to any wedding dress. 

 

Satin wedding gloves are perfect for brides wearing simple satin wedding dresses who want to achieve a clean, classic, timeless bridal aesthetic. They can be worn with both strapless bridal gowns and bridal gowns with straps. 

 

If you’re thinking about wearing satin bridal gloves, choosing a style made from a stretch satin will provide you with the most comfortable fit. Our Sadie Wedding Gloves feature a luxuriously soft stretch fabric and marry a clean look with a comfortable fit. 

 

 

 

Pair Well With
Simple Crepe Bridal Gowns with Modern Details

 

Bridal Aesthetic
Chic, Modern, Upscale Elegance

 

Sheer Wedding Gloves are our favorite new take on the wedding glove trend. They are stylish and statement making - but they provide a more modern look than traditional satin bridal gloves. 

 

Sheer wedding gloves are just a touch more versatile than satin bridal gloves. They look best when worn with wedding gowns that feature simple crepe fabric and modern details like sheer accents or visible boning. 

 

For maximum impact, look for extra-long sheer wedding gloves or gloves with dramatic ruched details. 

 

Lace Bridal Gowns or Simple Bridal Gowns

 

Romantic, Designer Inspired, Timeless Elegance

 

Lace Wedding Gloves are a hot 2025 wedding trend. They’re perfect for brides who want to wear wedding gloves without sacrificing a soft, romantic aesthetic. 

 

Lace wedding gloves look elegant when paired with a lace wedding dress. With that said, wearing a simple wedding dress with lace gloves and a lace wedding veil allows you to add a touch of old world elegance to your wedding look without having to wear lace from head to toe. 

 

To take this trend to the next level, select lace wedding gloves with a modern floral pattern – like our Lennox Lace Wedding Gloves. 

 

 

Fingerless wedding gloves – also called wedding sleeves – are a fun take on this trend. They offer the same traditional look as wedding gloves while also offering extra versatility.

Remember - while some brides can wear their wedding rings over their wedding gloves, other brides may not be able to. If you have larger hands or rings that fit tight to your fingers you likely will not be able to wear your wedding rings over your wedding gloves. For this reason, fingerless gloves are the best option if you want to wear gloves during your ceremony but don’t want to have to slip them off when it’s time to exchange rings.

Another thing to keep in mind – most wedding gloves are not touchscreen compatible. If you’re a bride who wants to snap tons of pictures during your reception, fingerless gloves might be the better option.

The best part about wedding gloves is that they are incredibly easy to take on and off. Think beyond your ceremony when it comes to styling your wedding dress with wedding gloves. 

 

If you love the look of wedding gloves but aren’t sure you want to commit to wearing them the entire day, consider slipping into them for a few of your bridal portraits. This allows you to get some glamorous photographs wearing gloves with your wedding dress without having to worry about what to do with them during your ceremony. 

 

Wedding gloves make it easy to create a dramatic “second look” for your wedding reception. Consider slipping on wedding gloves with a short reception dress so you can stun your guests with an unexpected reception entrance.
