I'm having trouble finding a dress that has some sort of sleeve or cover up for my upper arms? Have any ideas on how to cover my arms on my wedding day without having to get one of those old grandma dresses with sleeves? Don't get me wrong I don't mind sleeves on a dress. I would just prefer having other options than those old outdated sleeves. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Even if the dress you love does not have sleeves, you can still cover your arms by purchasing a beautiful shawl/wrap to wear over your shoulders for the ceremony and pictures and whatnot. The shawl/wrap an be lace, embroidered satin, chiffon, etc.
You can take the shawl/wrap off for the dance and party all night long. At this point, you won't have to worry about what your friends and family think of how you look. They came to love and support you on your special day. They did not come to judge you or examine your arms. Regardless of what you decide to do, know that you will be a beautiful bride. Brides are always beautiful.
Good luck and congratulations!

There are several designers that make plus size wedding dresses with sleeves, and they don't look (as you put it) old grandma like. What I have done is just type in "Plus Size Bridal Dresses" in yahoo browser, and get lots of websites. This will give the advantage of looking at the dresses, and deciding what you like and don't like. Many websites will also provide a place where you can find a dress shop that carries that particular designer. One of my personal favorites is Alfred Angelo.
You could also try David's Bridal.
Hope it helps and congrats!!

You can buy the gown tha you would like anb then purchase an organza jacket to wear over it. It will be light and see through, it will cover you arms but you coul dstill see the dress and your skin.
I've seen ome very pretty ones here:

Davids bridal has dresses for plus size ladies. Also, they have a very cute bolero jacket that can be worn over any dress.

Try a line of dresses called Bonny. They make beautiful gowns and most are extremly flattering for plus size girls.

many bridal boutiques can alter your gown. Choose a sleeve style you like and they can put it on your dress
