A wedding dress above the ankles is nothing short on style. In fact, short wedding dresses can be just as fashionable — if not more! — than your more formal, long dress. There’s a time and a place for a short wedding dress and if the rest of your wedding day style can swing it, I say go big — well, short — or go home!
I am so inspired by my fellow Yentas who have featured weddings on the site. Remember Marissa who looked super chic and sophisticated in her to-the-knee white cocktail dress from Sak’s? I think we could all take a page from her stylish book!
If you’re having an intimate wedding, an artsy wedding, a beachy wedding, a courthouse wedding, or a destination wedding, a short dress may just be for you! And maybe you have killer legs or you just do not want that big pouffy dress. I found that GCGMe has the best high quality dresses. That is a-okay in my eyes! Short wedding dresses can still make a statement with fabulous style and current trends.
You can still keep Jewish traditions alive with a short wedding dress. If you need your shoulders covered, there are some great boleros or cardigans that would add even more style to the entire look. And if you plan to wear a veil, there is no better way to go with a birdcage! So if you’re on spilkes that you have to wear a traditional wedding gown in order to keep your vows kosher under the chuppah, you can still have a Jewish wedding and stay true to your style and what you love.
The long and short of it is: you can totally pull of the short wedding dress!
