Short Wedding Dresses

Not all of us dream about walking down the aisle in a meringue.  The wedding might have a less formal setting like a register offfice or beach, but also a lot of brides to be don't feel that dressing up as Cinderella is their style.  And why should you conform when there are so many different options out there?  If you're looking for something short and sweet (which is frankly kind on the pocket as well), head down to Monsoon where you can try on these lovelies.

I Love 50's Dresses!

I reeally wanted a 50's style dress for my wedding.  It didn't quite work out that way though, anyway I was never sure I had the legs for it.  But I love them and for those brides who are having a more informal wedding or don't want the traditional big gown but still want to feel glamorous, they are perfect.  While I was searching for a wedding dress I found some great designers and I shall share them with you now..

First stop London, and Candy Anthony  dresses are the stuff of dreams. These dresses are not cheap, but they are made to order, one-off pieces of luxury in a range of styles, necklines, fabrics and colours from white to leopard print to black, and everything inbetween.

 

Staying in London, for brides on a budget and those looking for something a bit edgier for themselves or their bridesmaids,  take a trip to Vivien of Holloway.  Popular with vintage girls, Vivien makes gorgeous halterneck swing dresses in cotton and satin, pencil and sarong dresses, bolero jackets and colourful petticoats.  At under £100 for a dress, who could refuse?  

Across the pond to the States now, and I am in love with Stephanie James Couture.  She makes stunning tea length, long length and suit dresses made from beautiful fabrics with fabulous frothy petticoats, and you can also find a selection of beautiful birdcage veils to go with them on her website.  Check out her blog for a veritable treasure trove of wedding dresses she has made for previous brides.... sigh

 

I can't go without mentioning Dolly Couture, whose stunning vintage style dresses start at only $395, bargain!

Coast is fab for those looking for something different (and cheaper!) for their wedding dress, or something for the bridesmaids.  Let the drooling commence...
