Call me dull and drab, but I love simple, tailored, short wedding dresses. If my big day were tomorrow, I would wear this dress in white silk. I also adore this dress by Elizabeth Dye, and any of the short frocks included in Vera Wang’s bridal collection (love that #12). The dress pictured above is by Vera Wang and was taken from Brides.com. There is a perfect short dress, sheer minimalist wedding in an old issue of MS Weddings, I just have to hunt it down.
i love short wedding dresses, too. especially 50s style ones with poofy skirts. that’s what i’d go for. . .
I agree completely. I’m only 5ft 2″ so always feel like anything long will swarm me.
i adore short sleek modern wedding dresses. if i could do it again, city hall, sheath dress, feathers in my hair, and a smart pair of flats.
oh, i really wish i could get married again, just me and my husband, and then a trip to rome. sigh.
The simple and sleek dress in the Brides.com image and the Elizabeth Dye dress are lovely! It’s such a fresh and modern approach to a traditional institution. Love it!
i don’t think that’s dull or drab at all! short dresses are super chic and you can move around in them–dancing, flirting, kissing, mingling. yay!
I love short dresses and simple weddings as well! I got married in a short pink Mandarin collar dress that I got for $50 in Chinatown. Lovely blog!
I got married last June and wore a knee length A-line dress trimmed in feathers. It was the perfect dress for me on that day. I loved being able to walk outside and not worry about getting dirty. After hours of dancing and walking in it, it still looks new! And it was $400, which is a lot for a dress, but not bad for a wedding dress…
So chic, I love it with the flowers in the hair!

I was JUST browsing through the Victorias Secret catalogue and found a short skirt suit that would be perfect for a civil ceremony. Follow the links…

I bought a long dress and am having the whole thing cut up to the knee by a dressmaker.
