Why Some Brides are Opting for Short Bridal Gowns

As we're sure you've noticed, every designer carried by

is incorporating the short bridal gown into their collection. And while they may only be showing one or two styles--a rather small category in comparison with their other styles, it certainly does stand out as a fun and trendy way to add some panache to your day!

It's also a very practical style decision for many brides.

With a short bridal gown, the fears of tripping down the aisle are all but eliminated. They also don't get covered with sand should you decide to have your ceremony on the beach. And speaking of the beach--short bridal gowns are perfect for warmer climates as they tend to be breezier and can help stave off heat exhaustion.

And don't forget that short gowns are not only great for summer weddings, but they also make options for winter weddings as well. A short gown looks amazing underneath a calf-length faux fur with a hat or mitt!

But what is the number one reason why WE love the short bridal gowns?

THEY SHOW OFF YOUR AMAZING SHOES!

Thank you again for creating my beautiful veil and bustle. I think this picture is a perfect display of how beautiful your work is. Please share it with customers!

All the best,

A distinctive veil not only finishes and ties together your entire bridal ensemble, but it might also be the element of your wedding that keeps the guests talking for weeks to come!
