We often imagine wedding gowns to be white and flowy confections with long trains and big skirts. However, times are changing now and brides today are starting to consider short wedding gowns instead of wedding gowns with long trains. If you would like to try this hottest new trend in wedding gowns, read on to see if a short wedding dress will suit you and your wedding theme.
Planning A Beach Wedding
Beach weddings offer a beautiful and romantic setting to your wedding. The warm breeze and casual fun of a beach wedding often calls for a short wedding dress so you don’t have to worry with a train ruined by salt water, sand in your gown and heavy material weighing you down. The casual and flirty setting makes a short and cute wedding gown perfect for that perfect beach wedding!
Tip: Consider a short wedding gown in lightweight chiffon for ease of movement in your casual wedding setting.
Dancing At Your Wedding Party
Your first dance as husband and wife at your wedding does not have to be a slow number. If you both love grooving to upbeat numbers, opt for a short wedding dress so you can both have a fantastic party at your own wedding! 
Embellish your hot, little wedding dress with eye-catching details such as sequins, sparkles and ruffles so you are the star of your wedding and guests don’t mistake you for the bridesmaid!
Who said weddings have to be boring and serious?!
Tip: If you are making your own wedding dress and would like a mixture of both long and short trains, get your designer to make you a detachable train so you can party!
Show Off Your Gorgeous Legs
Short wedding dresses are perfect for petite brides or brides with gorgeous long legs. For Why hide those pretty legs under a voluminous skirt? Flaunt them in a pretty short white dress and delicate high heels for a modern refreshing bridal look. Petite brides too will never look prettier as short wedding dresses compliment their petite figure instead of overwhelming it. You will feel a lot lighter without dragging yards of heavy material behind you!
Tip: Go for a retro look with short and vintage wedding gowns from the 1950s and top it off with a funky retro hairstyle!
Short wedding dresses are fantastic if you want freedom of movement to mingle with your guests or to have fun in at your wedding. They are especially great if you don’t want the weight of a wedding gown hampering your movements or worry about staining the long train. Paired off with the right hairstyle and net veil, they can be just as romantic and beautiful as a long wedding gown!
So, would you wear a short wedding dress?
