Princess gowns and mermaid style wedding dresses are perfect for the formal ceremony ( be it vows or church) and the incredible party you will have for you wedding. But I must admit I have a soft spot for short wedding dresses more suited for a civil ceremony ( if you live in Europe) and a less formal party.

I always admire the vintage inspired brides that opt for a tea-length wedding gown and birdcage veil. But short wedding dresses are far from being just a vintage affair – you can not get more modern and with an elegant avant-garde short number.

And you don’t have to imagine a mini dress when considering a short wedding dress, as all bridal looks they come in various shapes and sizes and you will surely find the one suitable to your style.

I fully recommend a fabulous short wedding gown for your after party dancing and evening your honeymoon getaway car. Here are a few trends that you’ll love from the some of the top bridal designers across the web.
