A few years ago, short wedding dresses were only seen at beach weddings or on a quick dash down the aisle in Las Vegas but bridal designers like Oscar de la Renta and Priscilla of Boston have recently pushed the informal look to the top of bridal fashion. Even Voguehas just featured a ’50s style short wedding dress in their latest wedding shoot feature.
There are many great reasons to keep your wedding dress short and sweet, not just because the ceremony is on a sun-kissed beach in Florida.
