Wedding Trends 2011: Mini Dresses

short wedding dressMini Wedding Dresses

Short dresses came on the scene recently and remain all the rage as brides are no longer content to spend upwards of $3,000 on a floor-length formal gown they’ll have zero use for after the wedding. Whether it’s glammed up, vintage or cool and casual, knee-length, short or mini wedding dresses are more practical and more personalized for today’s bride. They also give brides many more options. As more stores roll out wedding boutiques like J.Crew and White House Black Market, brides can pick up a wedding dress (if it’s even a dress at all) from their favorite retail store. And let’s not forget that for some, that’s Etsy, where they can pick up a custom hand-made gown for as little as $40.
