Fun Shorter Wedding Gowns
One of the biggest trends in wedding gowns these days is the short dress. The shorter bridal gown has become much more widely accepted in recent years. These are some of the best designs for knee length bridal gowns.
Worried about looking like a guest instead of the bride in a short dress? Choose classic lace for a timeless bridal look. You will always feel like a bride in a lace gown, no matter if it is to the floor or above the knee. Lace minidresses (not micro-minis, mind you!) are very chic for a bride with great legs. Long sleeves are a great detail with a short dress. Pearl and crystal bridal jewelry would be the perfect complement to this style which blends traditional lace with a very modern silhouette.
Short wedding dresses with full skirts are also very popular. A terrific look is a dress with a full tulle ballerina inspired skirt. Tulle gowns run the gamut from tasteful and demure to trendy and adventurous. If the tulle is tea length and the bodice a fitted satin with a bateau neckline, the look will be pure Audrey Hepburn circa 1957 in “Funny Face”. All you need is classic pearl bridal jewelry and a short veil with a bow to complete the effect. At the opposite end of the spectrum are the tulle dresses with strapless bodices that have corset backs. Brides who opt for a gown with a mostly see-through bodice (such as those by Pnina) will definitely not resemble a vintage movie star. All eyes will be fixed on you in such a breathtaking gown.
A fun and sassy trend is short wedding gowns with layers of fringe. A dress covered with tiers of silky fringe is a bold choice for the bride who likes to think beyond the expected. Don’t be surprised if you feel like dancing the Charleston and twirling your pearls in this flapper style gown! This type of gown can be styled to look vintage or showgirl chic. Just be aware that the tiers of fringe can make you look a bit wider if you are not naturally thin.
Tiers of ruffles are also wonderful for a knee length gown. We’re not talking a little ruffle along the hemline – the style these days is an extravagance of ruffles covering the skirt. Ruffles are both festive and sassy. While not exactly risque, a ruffled skirt does move and bounce in an eye-catching fashion. When the dress has a full skirt, the top should be very slender to show off your waist. A gown with layers of ruffles can have a delightful South American flavor, and it is just plain fun.
Brides will find a terrific selection of shorter dresses. Heavily beaded dresses are fantastic for a chic evening reception. Just imagine how they will twinkle in the light. Killer shoes and glittering cz bridal jewelry will complete the look. The single shoulder gown is chic, and simple gowns with minimal embellishment are also in style. The appeal of a short wedding dress is that it is very comfortable and feels less stuffy than a long gown. The desire for shorter bridal gowns is only likely to grow.
